Russians top Simone Biles, Americans in gymnastics qualifying. Tokyo2020 TeamUSA
After a 12-month delay, the unprecedented 2020 Tokyo Olympics will take place without fans and spectators due to the city's COVID-19 state of emergency.TOKYO -- The trouble started early. A step out of bounds on floor exercise here. An extra hop on vault there.
It still might happen at the Tokyo Olympics. But for the first time in a long time, it appears it won't happen without a fight. “This was not the finals,” U.S. high-performance director Tom Forster said. “This was getting into the finals. So this might be a great awakening for us and we’ll take advantage of it.”
It always has since the 2011 world championships. Everything will be reset for the finals, when the format changes to three-up/three-count. The pressure will be greater. And the Americans have found a way to thrive under it. The biggest bright spot for the Americans may have been the spectacular performance by Jade Carey. Competing as an individual after earning a nominative berth through the World Cup circuit, Carey earned a spot in the vault and floor exercise finals and only missed out on the all-around due to the rules that limit finals to two athletes per country.
