GYMNASTIC
Three-time World all-around champion Simone Biles will lead a mix of veterans (Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman) and newcomers (Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian) at next month’s 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
Balance beam, pommel horse, parallel bars, rings... in artistic gymnastics the athletes compete on different apparatus in individual and team events, eight for men and six for women. This traditional sport has been in the Games since Athens 1896.
