The squad celebrated right away after witnessing Simone Biles’ floor routine score of 14.666, which allowed her to take home the coveted gold medal in Paris.

The team that won the gold medal at the London 2012 Olympics was dubbed the Fierce Five. Then there came the Rio 2016 Final Five and the Tokyo Fighting Four that followed.
