Four-time Olympian Ellie Black led the way for Canada in qualifying, placing ninth in the individual all-around standings to advance to that final on Thursday. Teammate Ava Stewart qualified for the all-around in 26th place. Black also advanced to this weekend's vault final along with Shallon Olsen.

Simone Biles will try to help the United States win its third team title in the last four Olympics. The Americans took silver behind the Russian team in Tokyo after Biles withdrew from the final due to a dangerous mental block known as "the twisties."

The four-time Olympic gold medallist overcame an apparent calf injury Sunday to place first in individual qualifying and lead the U.S. to the top spot in the team standings.
