Paris Olympics gymnastics preview: Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and what to expect.

Slate  

This is part of Slate’s 2024 Olympics coverage. If you’re like most of the normal world, the last time you thought about the sport of women’s artistic gymnastics was probably sometime in 2021, when a heavily favored Simone Biles abruptly withdrew from most of the Tokyo Olympics and you learned what the term twisties meant. Even with Rivera, this puts the average age of the Americans at 22, the age Aly Raisman was in 2016, when a 19-year-old Biles called her “Grandma,” because at the time, gymnastics was still considered a teenager’s sport in the U.S. Twenty-two was the oldest oldie who’d ever olded. The stars from many of the countries you will likely see in both the team final and all-around individual competition are in their mid-20s and even early 30s: Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, Flávia Saraiva, and Jade Barbosa ; Great Britain’s Becky Downie ; France’s Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos ; and Canada’s Ellie Black. The short version is that the trend toward longer gymnastics careers began with a revamp of the Code of Points after the 2004 Olympics, which did away with the “Perfect 10” system in favor of an open-ended scoring code that awards more points for more difficult skills—skills that sometimes favor a body composition that is more muscular than the tiny, light, breakable-looking child’s physique that dominated in the late 20th century.
