Lee clinched her spot with a monster bar routine that scored 14.866 and beat out her teammate Jordan Chiles for Team USA's second individual all-around spot by just .067.

Chiles, who finished fourth with a 56.065, will not be able to compete in the all-around final due to a rule that allows only two athletes from each country to compete in the individual all-around finals.

Defending all-around gold medalist Suni Lee showed up and showed out, securing a chance to defend her title. The 3x Olympic medalist will also compete in the uneven bars and balance beam finals alongside teammate Simone Biles.

Biles scored a record high for women’s gymnastics, despite battling a calf issue that made for a dramatic debut.

During Biles' 30-second warmup before floor, she was seen telling her coach, "uh oh, not good," after prepping her signature skill, "the Biles," for her floor routine.

Biles' coach, Cecile Landi, said the gymnast "felt 'a little pain in her calf'" while warming up on the floor. Landi said there were no current plans for Biles to withdraw from any competitions or change her routines and said she wasn't concerned about her performance going forward.

The pain didn't deter Biles, widely considered the greatest gymnast of all time.

The U.S. women's gymnastics team clinched their spot in the team final after finishing in first place after the first two subdivisions with a 172.296.
