Laura Zeng leads first full U.S. Olympic rhythmic gymnastics team
The U.S. will send a full rhythmic gymnastics team to the Olympic Games for the first time since the discipline entered the program 37 years ago.
Led by 21-year-old veteran Laura Zeng, the nation’s most accomplished rhythmic gymnast, the team has the potential to leave Tokyo with historic results.
Zeng finished top-10 at the past four world championships, including a U.S.-record sixth place in 2017, and won six event medals in World Cup competition. When she competes Aug. 6-7, Zeng will become just the second two-time U.S. Olympic rhythmic gymnast.
