She’s only 16 years old, but Hezly Rivera is an Olympic gold medalist.

The Dominican American artistic gymnast and her Team USA women’s gymnastics team mates earned the gold during the 2024 Paris Games team finals on Tuesday at Bercy Arena.

Powered by a brilliant performance by Simone Biles, the U.S. women’s gymnastics program returned to the top of the sport after finishing in second at the 2020 Tokyo Games

It’s the ninth straight time the U.S. team has reached the podium and its first Olympic championship since the 2016 Summer Games.

Rivera was not selected for an event in the team finals but competed in the qualification rounds on Sunday in the uneven bars and balance beam.

She’s the youngest of nearly 600 American athletes at this year’s Olympics and the lone rookie on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team – joining Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Suni Lee.

The United States finished the team finals with 171.296 points to hold off Italy in second (165.494) and Brazil in third (164.497).

Biles closed out the night with a floor routine en route to her eighth Olympic medal, passing Shannon Miller for the most by an American gymnast.
