    The women who have earned a spot on team USA:
    (I looked up where they will go to college on Wikipedia)

    Simone Biles – Professional
    Jordan Chiles – UCLA
    Suni Lee – Auburn
    Grace McCallum – Utah

    Jade Carey – Oregon State
    MyKayla Skinner – Utah – already attended; she's 24

    The replacement gymnasts also headed to Tokyo:

    Kayla DiCello – FLORIDA – 2022-23 commit
    Kara Eaker – Utah
    Emma Malabuyo – UCLA
    Leanne Wong – FLORIDA – should be a member of 2022 Gators

    Noteworthy:

    Riley McCusker – FLORIDA – signed for 2021/22 but deferred enrollment to pursue Olympics. People on twitter are saying she got robbed of a spot.
    Shilese Jones – FLORIDA (is listed as a commit) – is listed on the Wikipedia for the US women's national team (with all of the above).

    So this is odd, I was looking for something else and found this. If someone knows more on it please chime in, but I’m adding her to the list I suppose.

    So does this mean Dressel won’t be in enough events to beat Phelps medal record?

    he is only swimming three individual events, so not enough relays to get him to 8. Still going to be a huge olympics for him though if things go to plan.

    meantime, as Ethan pointed out, Mark Kolozsvary made the baseball team. Will add him to the list.
