TheUnited States women's national artistic gymnastics team represents theUnited States inFIG international competitions.
As of 2024, the U.S. team is the reigning World team champion and the reigning Olympic team gold medalists, with the five gymnasts nicknamed the "Golden Girls."
The U.S. women won the team competition bronze medal at the1948 Summer Olympics. Afterwards, they did not win another Summer Olympics or World Championships medal until the 1984 when the Olympic team won silver. During that competition,Mary Lou Retton also became the first American to win the individual all-around gold medal. The Americans started consistently winning Olympic and World team medals in the early 1990s with future Hall of FamersShannon Miller andDominique Dawes. The 1996 Olympic team, known as theMagnificent Seven, was the first American team to win Olympic gold. An iconic moment in the sport's history came late in the competition, when an injuredKerri Strug stuck a vault to secure the title. After 1996, the team regressed for several years as their stars took breaks from competing.
Márta Károlyi headed the program after the 2000 Olympics, ushering in an era of success for the U.S. team as they became one of the most dominant countries in women's gymnastics. The U.S. team has medalled in every Olympics and Worlds since 2000. They won their first World gold medal in 2003. At the 2004 Olympics, they won the team silver, andCarly Patterson became the second American gymnast to win the individual all-around. The U.S. team continued their success in the next quad. They won another Olympic silver medal in 2008.Nastia Liukin andShawn Johnson were two of the best gymnasts of their era and finished first and second in the 2008 individual all-around.
They won gold at the 2011 Worlds and then won gold at the 2012 Olympics by over five points. The 2012 team was nicknamed theFierce Five and includedGabby Douglas, the first African American woman to win the Olympic individual all-around. In 2013,Simone Biles started her senior career and helped the U.S. team dominate the sport through 2016. In addition to the team gold medals, Biles won the individual all-around at the Worlds and Olympics for four straight years. The 2016 Olympic team, featuring Biles and veterans Douglas andAly Raisman, was named theFinal Five. They won the team competition by more than eight points.
The USA Gymnastics women have won the Olympic Gold four times, in1996,2012,2016, and2024 Summer Olympics. These successes led to the nicknamesMagnificent Seven,Fierce Five,Final Five, and Golden Girls, respectively. They won four silvers in1984,2004,2008, and2020[1] and three bronzes in1948,1992 and2000.[2] The 2016 team name alluded toMárta Károlyi's final team to coach and that the team structure will be changed to four members beginning with the 2020 Olympic Games. The1988 Olympic Games was the only year in which the team did not medal since its formation in 1982; they missed the bronze medal by one controversial deduction. Six American women have won the Olympic individual all-around title, including six consecutive titles from 2004–24:Mary Lou Retton (1984),Carly Patterson (2004),Nastia Liukin (2008),Gabby Douglas (2012),Simone Biles (2016),Sunisa Lee (2020), andSimone Biles (2024). The most decorated American gymnast at the Olympics, with eleven medals, is Simone Biles (7 gold, 2 silvers, 2 bronze).
The United States women team is currently third in the all-time medal count for theWorld Artistic Gymnastics Championships. The first American gymnast to win a medal at the World Championships wasCathy Rigby who won silver on beam in1970.[3] The first female American gymnast to win a world title wasMarcia Frederick in 1978 on the uneven bars.[4] The most decorated American gymnast at the World Championships isSimone Biles, who won 25 medals (19 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze) from 2013 to 2019.[5] The United States won team gold in2003,2007,2011,2014,2015,2018,2019,2022, and2023 .[6] Additionally, eight American women have won the individual World all-around title:Kim Zmeskal (1991), Shannon Miller (1993-1994),Chellsie Memmel (2005), Shawn Johnson (2007),Bridget Sloan (2009),Jordyn Wieber (2011), Simone Biles (2013-2015, 2018-2019, 2023), andMorgan Hurd (2017). Biles is the only American gymnast to win both the Olympic and World all-around titles.
