In a sport of tenths and hundredths, the American women are expected to demolish the competition by points to win their second straight team gold and third overall. They qualified first with a 10-point (!) spread over China. How big will the final point spread be? Greatest of All Time-in-the-making Simone Biles will lead the way on a team that includes Fierce Five alums Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas -- the first U.S. gymnasts to make back-to-back Olympics since 2000 -- and rookies Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian.
