Olympic medalist and NBC Sports Gymnastics Analyst Laurie Hernandez joins TODAY to break down the newly-named US Women's Gymnastics team and she also shares her prediction for the men's team.
The U.S. women’s gymnastics team is well positioned to win the Olympic team gold medal not solely because of talent but also because of experience. Four of the five women suiting up this month were members of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic team. With two all-around Olympic champions and four Olympic medalists, the 2024 Paris group is the most experienced and most decorated in U.S. history. Simone Biles, with 37 Olympic and world championship medals, is the headliner.
“I want to be in the top three for the bars final, and I really want a beam gold.” “I feel like I always make the final and then I always mess up, it’s so annoying,” she said laughing. She made the beam final at the Tokyo Games and has Olympic medal potential in that event. Her 14.600 beam score at the Core Hydration Classic is among the highest scores in the world this year. Carey, the reigning Olympic floor champion, narrowly missed the podium on vault in Tokyo.
