The heat is on at the Tokyo Olympics 2021. No position is safe or gold medal guaranteed as every competitor is coming with their A-game. This is even more obvious in the female Gymnastics events.
Presently, Simone Biles has placed in all finals but Team USA sits in second place over all. They will have to step up or step out because the Russians are in the number one spot at the moment.
Also, Rebeca Andrade of Brazil scored 14.200, to take her close to the top spot in the women’s all-around events.
This will make for an exciting, nail-biting showdown. One which we all will look forward to. Will the American continue to dominate or will they be toppled?
