The United States women’s gymnastics team going for gold in Tokyo became official Sunday night.

As the final day of competition at the U.S. Olympic trials wrapped up, the team began to take shape. Simone Biles was always considered a lock, but who would join her was up for debate. With four team spots and two individual spots, the selection committee had several choices to make.

Here is the team the U.S. will be taking to Tokyo:

Memories that will last forever. 💫

Congratulations to the women who have earned a spot on @TeamUSA for the Tokyo Olympic Games!

Simone Biles: Biles had an uncharacteristic night on Sunday, making little mistakes and even falling off of the balance beam — reminding us that the star gymnast is human. In the end, it’s better for her to get those mistakes out now rather than at the Olympics. Biles still posted the highest all-around score over the two days despite not performing her best. She hasn’t lost an all-around competition of any kind since 2013 and will look to cement her legacy in Tokyo.

Sunisa “Suni” Lee: The second-place finisher behind Biles at the Olympic trials, Lee is a master on the uneven bars. She recovered from an ankle injury to take first in the event at the U.S. nationals a few weeks ago and did so again at the Olympic trials. Her all-around total on Sunday surpassed Biles’ and led the field. Lee will likely be a medal contender in both the uneven bars and the beam.

Jordan Chiles: Where Lee is somewhat of an event specialist, Chiles is versatile and has only improved since moving to Texas to train with Biles. While Biles and Lee topped the 20-year-old at nationals and the Olympic trials, Chiles has completed every routine this year without a major mistake.

Grace McCallum: The point differential between Grace McCallum and MyKayla Skinner was slim at .300. Although Skinner had a better vault than McCallum, which could score Team USA more points in the team competition, U.S. high performance coordinator Tom Forester said the selection committee wanted to preserve the “integrity of competition.” So, the two-time world champion was named to the fourth and final spot on the team, coming back from hand surgery to avoid any major mistakes that would’ve taken her out of the running.

Jade Carey: The first gymnast to officially qualify for the Olympic team, Carey earned the first of two individual spots through FIG World Cup qualification. The 21-year-old is a four-time world champion medalist who specializes in floor and vault. While her all-around scores have improved and she could have tried to qualify for the team, Carey opted to take the individual spot she’d earned.

MyKayla Skinner: This team is filled with amazing stories, and Skinner’s is certainly one of them. An alternate on the 2016 Olympic team, the 24-year-old decided that she wasn’t satisfied and wanted to make one more run at the Games. Skinner had two strong performances over the weekend to secure her spot in Tokyo as the second individual. Her best event is the vault, where she placed second at trials behind Simone Biles. Look out for Skinner as a vault medal contender in Tokyo.

The 2025 NWSL Championship claimed a major viewership milestone on Saturday, as Gotham FC's 1-0 title win over the Washington Spirit became the first-ever league match to record an average of more than one million viewers.

The CBS evening broadcast averaged an impressive 1.184 million fans and peaked at 1.55 million viewers, making it the most-watched NWSL match of all time.

The 2025 final marked a 22% viewership increase over the 967,900 fans who watched 2024's Orlando Pride victory — the previous NWSL viewership record-holder — and a 45% ratings gain over Gotham's 2023 championship win, which averaged 816,800 viewers.

Saturday's gains both matched the 22% viewership increase the NWSL regular season saw this year and also far exceeded the 2025 postseason's pre-final year-over-year increase of 5%.

Calling the one-million viewer mark "an extraordinary achievement" in Tuesday's league statement, NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman also noted that the "record-setting audience demonstrates the deepening connection fans have with our players, our clubs, and the world-class competition on the field, and it underscores the growing demand for women's soccer on the biggest stages."

"We're incredibly proud of what this moment represents for the NWSL and for everyone who continues to invest in and believe in the future of our game," Berman added.

Incoming offseason league Project B scored more major WNBA signings this week, as the upstart venture continues stacking its roster ahead of a planned November 2026 launch.

Indiana Fever guards Kelsey Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham have both publicly signed on with Project B, joining already announced talent like Seattle Storm star Nneka Ogwumike and Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas, New York Liberty center Jonquel Jones, and Las Vegas Aces guard Jewell Loyd.

Also inking deals to join the inaugural season of Project B are Chicago Sky center Kamilla Cardoso, Golden State Valkyries forward Janelle Salaün, and Li Meng, a former Washington Mystics guard and current player in the Women's Chinese Basketball Association.

The multi-continent, Formula One-style traveling tournament circuit will ultimately sign 66 international stars, as Project B looks to field six 11-player teams in its debut 2026/2027 campaign.

Project B player signings will undoubtedly impact other offseason leagues like Unrivaled and Athletes Unlimited, but the new venture is also looming large over the ongoing WNBA CBA talks.

With negotiations racing toward this Sunday's extended deadline, Project B is putting WNBA compensation offerings under increased pressure, as the new league is reportedly anteing up multimillion-dollar salaries to its signees — far exceeding the 2025 WNBA maximum as well as the $1.1 million-max currently on the negotiating table.

World No. 1 Spain will take aim at a second-straight UEFA Nations League title this week, as La Roja take on No. 5 Germany in the first leg of the 2025 tournament's final at 2:30 PM ET on Friday.

The defending Nations League champions booked their spot in the 2025 final by dismantling No. 3 Sweden 5-0 on aggregate in the semifinal round, while Germany advanced after a tense 3-2 aggregate win over No. 6 France.

Germany must also contend with availability issues during Friday's match, as 28-year-old Bayern Munich forward and senior national team leading scorer Lea Schüller will be out due to family reasons.

To overcome that disadvantage, German head coach Christian Wück is reinforcing the team's back line, adding Athletic Bilbao defender Bibi Schulze Solano to the roster on Wednesday.

Also aiming to shut down Spain's offensive firepower on Friday is new NWSL champion goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger, who joined her German compatriots late following Gotham FC's title celebrations in New York this week.

While Spain and Germany will contend for the 2025 Nations League trophy this week, the pair — along with ousted semifinalists Sweden and France — have already booked spots in the top group of teams battling for tickets to the 2027 World Cup, with UEFA qualifying set to begin in 2026.

A full 19 months removed from their back-to-back Final Four runs, No. 11 Iowa basketball refuses to go away, with the Hawkeyes already notching one Top-25 win in the young 2025/26 NCAA campaign so far.

The still-unbeaten Hawkeyes took down No. 15 Baylor 57-52 last Thursday, with Iowa starting post players Hannah Stuelke and Ava Heiden combining for 28 points while guard Taylor Stremlow added another 12 off the bench in the marquee win.

"We have nice pieces," said Iowa head coach Jan Jensen this week. "But it's knowing when to play which pieces and with whom, and we're six games in."

The Hawkeyes have been finding their new identity under Jensen after a transformative period saw Iowa's longtime head coach Lisa Bluder retire while superstar guard Caitlin Clark joined the WNBA.

"Jan's been amazing," Stuelke told JWS at the Big Ten Media Day in October. "She stepped up like she needed to, and she's been growing every day since she's been the head coach, which it's really cool to see she cares. And it's a great environment for all of us."

"I have a year under my belt," Jensen echoed. "I know what this chair feels like now, and I have a little better of understanding of what that first road trip feels like, what that first big win feels like, or the tough loss feels like."

Iowa's season heats up with a ranked rivalry matchup against No. 10 Iowa State on Wednesday, December 10th.

The state rivals will tip off at 7 PM ET, with live coverage airing on ESPN.
