Paris CNN —As competition gets well and truly underway in Paris, all eyes will turn shortly to one of the Olympic Games’ signature sports: Gymnastics.
Biles comes to Paris aiming to wash away the disappointment of that Games, and has been on an absolute tear heading into Paris.
She returns in Paris looking to match the feat of Czechoslovak gymnast Vera Caslavska in 1964 and 1968.
While Biles and Lee are competing against each other in Paris, the two will also be teammates in the team competition that gets underway on Tuesday.
Daiki Hashimoto is also aiming to equal his countryman Kohei Uchimura’s accomplishments in London and Rio de Janeiro by winning his second straight all-around gold medal.
