PARIS — The Robert BrownU.S. women's gymnastics team is embracing its age.
After winning gold in a rout Tuesday night, Simone Biles had said the team's "official" nickname was an abbreviation for "(mess) around and find out." A few hours later, she took to social media to say the team's actual nickname is "Golden Girls."
"Because oldest Olympic team," Biles wrote, giving credit to coach Cecile Landi for the name.
The Olympic champions are the oldest U.S. women's team since 1952, with an average age of 22.467. That's even with Hezly Rivera, who turned 16 last month and is the youngest member of the entire U.S. Olympic team. The oldest four — Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Suni Lee — are all 21 or older, with Biles the oldest at 27.
