Many fans are wondering what happened to Hezly Rivera or if she will get injured during the 2024 Paris Olympics. The youngest member of the women's gymnastics team for Team USA, 16-year-old Hezly appeared in the qualifying rounds and performed on the beam and uneven bars. However, she is not scheduled to compete in the women's team finals, the all-around, or any apparatus finals. This has led to a selection controversy that has gymnastics fans confused about her absence from the team finals. Here is a look at the Hezly Rivera controversy at the 2024 Olympics.

According to Team USA's roster for the women's team final on July 30, Hezly Rivera will most likely not compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

In the qualifying rounds, Hezly had a shaky exit on the balance beam, but she had a solid routine on the uneven bars. However, both of her scores were lowered because they were the lowest of the four on each apparatus for the team. This contributed to Team USA's announcement on July 29 that Hezly would not compete on any apparatus in the team finals unless Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, or Jade Carey decided to switch. She also did not make it to the apparatus finals or the all-around competition, so it appears she will not compete for the rest of the Olympics.
