The United States women’s gymnastics team is not just an overwhelming favorite to lift a second consecutive gold in the team final on Tuesday in Rio, but even its closest rivals claims it is “unbeatable.” In qualifying on Sunday, the U.S. finished a massive 10 points clear of its nearest competitor, China. To put that into perspective, there were less than four points separating second and the rest of the six qualifiers for the final. Having dominated the field four years ago in London, the U.S. looks to be in a league of its own in Rio.
