The United States women’s gymnastics team took home gold in the team final Tuesday as the group knew the medal was in hand after watching Simone Biles’ 14.666 score on her floor routine.
With gold in hand, Team USA has adopted a nickname like all of the other great teams of the past.
Biles revealed it after competition Tuesday at the Paris Olympics.
During the press conference following Tuesday’s events, Simone Biles was asked by Aly Raisman, her “Final Five” teammate in Rio, what this group was nicknamed.
Biles revealed the unit’s moniker is “F.A.A.F.O.”
“F–k around and find out,” Biles said as reporters began to laugh.
Aly Raisman asks Simone Biles and the team what their nickname is.

You may notice that every previous gold medal-winning squad had a nickname. The 1996 squad was the “Magnificent Seven,” while 2012 was dubbed the “Fierce Five” and 2016’s group the “Final Five.”
The 2024 United States women’s gymnastics team may not be as dominated as they won in Rio, but they still got the job done
Simone Biles, Sunisa Lee, Jade Cary, and Jordan Chiles have formally entered history.
Simone Biles Becomes Most Decorated Gymnast In USA History
Simone Biles is officially the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history.
The 27-year-old won her eighth Olympic medal on Tuesday night after she and her teammates dominated for gold in the team final at the 2024 Paris Games.
That victory meant Biles surpassed former American gymnast Shannon Miller, who earned seven medals over the 1992 Barcelona and the 1996 Atlanta Games, per USA Today.
Biles’s new hardware also means she has 38 between the Olympics and World Championships, which is already an all-time record among both male and female gymnasts.
