@traders The team has been announced! Time to place your bets for Paris. How many Golds can the team win this time? (In Tokyo they only won 2). Now that Simone Biles is back, how many medals can she win?

Detailed coverage by the NYT:

How Simone Biles and the U.S. Olympic women’s gymnastics team is shaping up...

The tricky part is filling out the remaining three spots... especially given that defending champion Russia will not be in Paris after the IOC banned the country from competing in team events...

Suni Lee, the breakout star of the 2020 Olympics, is back in the mix after a fourth-place finish at nationals... A kidney-related health issue hampered Lee’s comeback attempt last year, but she looked strong on beam and capable of increasing her difficulty on bars to make a strong case for a spot on the Paris team...

Skye Blakely‘s stock rose the most after she competed a new, more difficult vault and hit eight routines across two nights to finish second in the all-around. Blakely’s potential has always been evident... but her track record includes multiple falls at international competitions... It would be hard to leave Blakely at home if she repeats that level of performance at trials, but a fall on either of the two nights might knock her out of contention if other competitors have cleaner meets.

Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey, two veterans returning for a shot at a second Olympics after Tokyo, finished fifth and seventh, respectively, in the all-around. But don’t count either of them out....

Russia is the reigning champ in the team event, but they aren't competing this year, raising the pressure on the US team to reclaim the crown. This market closes before the Olympic trials start on June 27, so place your bets now.
