There are many reasons why you'll want to watch Team USA gymnastics at the Tokyo Olympics. Sunisa Lee won the women's all-around gold medal and will go for another in the upcoming individual event finals.
As everybody knows, Simon Biles, the GOAT of women's gymnastics, bowed out of the women's team final and the all-around final, saying she had to focus on her mental health. The team is still impressive without her, and we're definitely going to tune in to watch. It is still unclear whether Biles will compete in the individual event finals, which start on Sunday. Lee and Jade Carey are set for the vault and uneven bars finals, and the latter will also represent at the women's floor final. If Biles returns to competition, she would be a contender in those events as well.
