Rivera, the youngest U.S. gymnast, supported her teammates from the sidelines, feeling pride in their hard work and the team’s ability to pull together under pressure.
The U.S. team’s lineup included Biles and Chiles on all four events, with Lee competing on uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.–
Great Britain showed resilience by advancing to the final from seventh in qualifications but fell short of a medal, finishing fourth due to pre-Games injuries.
