Women athletes from all over the world look to make their mark on the Olympics as the gymnastic competition begins live from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil as part of the Summer Games.
The action gets underway at 8:45 a.m. ET with the women's subdivision 1 qualifications and the action continues all the way up to 7:30 p.m. ET with the women's qualifications Subdivision 5 uneven bars.
Highlighting the action will be Simone Biles, who is one of our 10 athletes to watch in the Olympic games. Biles, 19, is the most decorated female gymnast of all time and will look to win the all-around gold and add an Olympic gold medal to her growing list of accolades.
Biles will partake in the women's uneven bars, beam, vault, all-around, floor and individual all-around competitions.
The 19-year-old gymnastics sensation is expected to dominate the Rio Games and even has a signature move, "The Biles" named after her. The maneuver is a tumbling pass on the floor that she put her own little spin on.
"I've seen everyone so shocked whenever I do that skill because it's a forward landing," Biles told Kfor.com. "So it's harder, and to do a half twist is hard also. So, nobody thought it was possible, and so every time I do it everyone just gets so excited."
