    Shawn is extremely humble. She def can compete with the girls now with her peaked performance. She had an amanar, incredible beam and floor, okay bars which can make her the second best next to simone.

    Shawn must have misspoken when she said Hezly is "kind of anchoring the team." What did she mean to say? Simone is clearly the anchor!

    Think USA, we watch track & field, swimming, but we always have huge hopes for are women gymnast ever since Mary Luo... Be nice to get one of those arching ones those even though
  • Team Final: Silver or Bronze. If someone messes up and Simone falls, it could be a wrap.
  • Here are the medal predictions for team USA from likely to possible: Likely medals Team Final: Gold AA: Gold Vault: Gold and Bronze Bars: none Beam: Bronze Floor: Gold and Bronze Possible medals: Bars: Bronze
  • I'm thinking Simone will win at min 4 Gold medals Team All Around Individual All Around Vault and Floor and silver on Uneven Bars and Balance Beam sadly Shoko Miyata won't be competing she was ejected for smoking so for ex on Bars I'm thinking Suni Lee Gold Simone Biles Silver and Jade Barbosa from Brazil Bronze and on Beam I'm thinking Rebecca Andrade Gold Simone Biles Silver Jade Carey Bronze Vault Simone Biles Gold 16.385 Rebecca Andrade Silver 15.995 and Jade Carey Bronze 15.585 and Floor Simone 16.660 Hezly Rivera 16.260 and Lilia Cosman from Romania bronze 14.965 she will be the 2nd Woman ever to win all 6 Gymnastics medals women compete for in the Olympics after Romania's Daniella Silivas in 1988 and if Simone makes the team again for LA in 2028 she will be the first American Gymnast to compete in 4 Olympic games the oldest American woman Gymnast at 31 and possibly to first gymnast ever to win all 6 medals twice 3 Gold 2 Silver and a bronze some Vaults have been in the code of points for several decades such as the Tsukahara family the Yurchenko family which have been in international competitions since 1972 Olympics and 1983 World Championships respectively the former being named for a Japanese men's Gymnast and the later being named for Soviet legend Natalia Yurchenko
