There are many reasons to want to watch the gymnastics events at the Tokyo Olympics. Sunisa Lee won gold in the women's all-around and will be looking for gold in the individual event finals next.
As everyone knows, Simon Biles, the GOAT of women's gymnastics, has withdrawn from the women's team final and the individual all-around final, as she needs to focus on her mental health. The team is great without her. It remains to be seen if Biles will compete in the individual event finals, which begin on Sunday. Lee and Jade Carey will compete in the vault and uneven bars finals, with the latter also competing in the women's floor final. If Biles returns to competition, she will be a favorite to win these events as well.
The gymnastics events are among the most highly anticipated events at the Summer Olympics each year. And the same is true for the 2020 Tokyo Games, which were postponed to 2021 due to the pandemic.
The women's competitors are Biles, Lee, Carey, Jordan Childs, Grace McCallum, and Mykaila Skinner. The men's team consists of Brody Malone, Sam Mikulak, Yul Moldauer, Shane Wiskus, and Alec Yoder.
