Team USA is flipping the script in modern gymnastics
In the world of gymnastics, Eurasia was once the undisputed leader, with the USSR, China, and Japan consistently claiming top spots on the podium since the 60s.
But since the 90s, Team USA has been shaking things up and redefining the sport.
From the days of Carly Patterson and Nastia Liukin to the recent trio of Olympic champions Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and Gabby Douglas shining at the Classics, the Americans are proving they're the ones to beat!
Simone Biles: Need we say more? Biles is already a legend in the sport. Known for her gravity-defying skills and incredible courage, she has won a jaw-dropping seven Olympic medals, including four golds. Her presence alone is enough to leave the audience in awe.
Suni Lee: The reigning Olympic all-around champion from the Tokyo 2020 Games, Suni Lee has captivated fans with her stunning performances and fearless execution. Her rise to stardom has been nothing short of meteoric, and she's ready to add more accolades to her name.
Gabby Douglas: The first American gymnast to win both team and individual all-around gold at the same Olympics (London 2012), Douglas has paved the way for future generations of athletes like Biles and Lee. Her artistry and strength have made her a beloved figure in the sport.
The historic competition is set to take place on Saturday, May 18, from 7-9 PM ET at the Excel Center in Hartford, Connecticut.
