In a nod to past iconic teams like the “Fierce Five” and “Final Five,” Simone Biles introduced a new nickname for this year’s U.S. women’s gymnastics team just hours after their gold win in Paris. Her playful label, “F**k Around and Find Five,” perfectly captures their fierce spirit and chemistry. When former Olympic champion Aly Raisman asked about the nickname, it led to some laughs among journalists. Biles later made it family-friendly, shortening it to “F. A. A. F. O.” 

If anyone asks, that’s the nickname for Team USA. Four of the five team members have experience from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, so Biles noted they considered names like “Redemption Team” but found them lacking. Laughing, she admitted that all the good names were already taken, and she decided on this new name to celebrate her team’s stellar performance. So, what did she name her team? Let’s see!

Simone Biles’ new moniker captures team’s spirit and chemistry

After the ongoing whispers, Simone Biles, the gymnastic GOAT, finally announced the new name of team USA on X, with a caption, “okay on the real though, the official team name is ✨golden girls✨ (because oldest olympic team) s/o to cecile🥹🤍,” keeping their sassy attitude in mind. The nickname conveyed or showcased the team’s determination and empowerment. With an average age of 22.467, the team—consisting of Biles (27), Jade Carey (24), Jordan Chiles (23), Suni Lee (21), and Hezly Rivera (16)—is the oldest U.S. women’s gymnastics team at the Olympics since 1952, according to USA Gymnastics.

Will the new name “Golden Girls” truly represent their significant leap forward? It’s hard to pinpoint the reason for the choice, but it highlights their Olympic achievements. While the team is a strong contender with impressive unity, they’re likely aiming for more than just a one-time celebration. It might also be a message to the doubters out there. Biles likely responded to controversial comments by former U.S. gymnast and teammate MyKayla Skinner earlier this month. While the team is strong and united, they aim for more than a one-time celebration. Skinner criticized the talent of the all-around U.S. team in a YouTube video that has since been deleted.
