From Phenoms to Medal Favorites, Meet 26 Women Athletes Ready to Shine at the Olympics

Sport: Gymnastics
Country: USA

Does Biles even need an introduction at this point? The 24-year-old gymnast is making one more run at the Olympics and looking to cement her status as the greatest gymnast of all time, with five Olympic and 25 World Championship medals already under her belt. Her tricks get more stunning every year (she has three named after her, which means she was the first to perform them in competition), and their level of difficulty and the ease with which she executes them put her miles above the rest of the competition; she can fall during routines and still earn the highest score. She's one of the most recognizable and decorated athletes at the Games, so we'll be tuning in every time she's in the arena.
