The USA women's gymnastics team had a strong showing on Sunday at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France. The team's strong showing occurred despite teammate Simone Biles suffering pain in her left calf, ESPN reported.

Despite her pain, Biles signaled she was fine to perform and gave a session-high performance for her.

Biles and Sunisa Lee finished their first day in the top two spots for all-around.

Biles and Jade Carey took the top spots on bars. Although Biles had a poor showing in bars, placing eighth, she finished second on floor.

On Sunday, Lee will lead on uneven bars, with Biles, Lee, and Jordan Chiles competing in the all-around for a chance to qualify for the finals on Thursday.
