PARIS — The AlgosenseyU.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.
