We all know Simone Biles has won a lot of medals on both the national and international level, but just how many Olympic medals could she rack up when she competes again in Tokyo? The answer is staggering. Although Simone has only competed at one Olympics so far (the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro),

We’ve been wearing and buying masks for over a year now, and the majority of our purchases have been reusable cloth masks.

When Gabby Thomas casually put up the third-fastest 200m time ever at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June, we knew we had a new track star to keep our eye on in Tokyo. Thomas ran her first Olympic heat on Sunday, easily moving on with a second-place finish, and we (and the rest of the

Simone Biles plans to return to the Tokyo Olympics women’s artistic gymnastics competition for the beam final on Aug. 3, USA Gymnastics confirmed Monday morning.

Sunisa Lee has won bronze in the women’s artistic gymnastics bars final in Tokyo three days after claiming the all-around title.

When she isn’t studying or hanging out in sunny Austin, TX, sprinter Gabby Thomas is casually making history. At the US Olympic Trials, Thomas clocked the third-fastest 200-meter sprint of all time, behind only the legendary Florence Griffith-Joyner, who notched the first and second best times in 1988. This makes Thomas the second-fastest woman in

Elaine Thompson-Herah’s legacy as the fastest woman in the world continues. On July 31, the Jamaican athlete earned her third gold medal and broke Florence Griffith Joyner’s (Flo-Jo’s) 33-year-old Olympic record in the women’s 100-meter race. Thompson-Herah is 29 years old herself, thus beating a record older than she’s been alive. With a finishing time

History was made multiple times over during the women’s all-around finals at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, and Rebeca Andrade grabbed a slice of it for herself.

Sunisa Lee has earned an Olympic gold medal in the women’s artistic gymnastics all-around competition — a close and exciting competition at that.

American swimmer Katie Ledecky became a household name at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she clocked astonishing times in the pool and ultimately became the most decorated woman athlete at the Games.

Team USA’s 17-year-old Lydia Jacoby went from training in a 25-yard pool in Seward, Alaska to winning her first Olympic gold medal in the women’s 100m breaststroke. Up until the final seconds of the race, announcers were convinced South Africa’s Tatjana Schoenmaker was going to take the gold medal. However, in the last lap, Jacoby

The bar is set extremely high for Simone Biles — she’s well aware of that — so when she isn’t pleased with herself, you’ll know. You could see that Biles was disappointed in some of her performances during the July 25 Tokyo Olympics women’s artistic gymnastics preliminary round. Though she qualified for every individual final,
