The team final on Tuesday will be an important stop. The three other gymnasts competing in the team final — including the defending all-around champion Sunisa Lee — are all competing at their second Summer Games. How it works: The team final consists of three gymnasts competing on all events — and every score counts — so there is no room for error. Biles rebounds: Biles finished first in the all-around in team qualifying, despite dealing with pain in her left calf that her coach, Cécile Canqueteau-Landi, said had been nagging Biles for weeks. Americans dominate: The U.S. team finished more than 5 points ahead of the second-place Italy in team qualifying, with China and Brazil very close behind, in third and fourth.
