For the Tokyo Games, gymnastics teams included four members due to a 2015 decision from the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) attempting to tighten the competitive gap for smaller countries.

But for the Paris Olympics, teams will again compete with five members — with up to three individual spots available for countries who don’t win a team quota.

The women’s gymnastics teams will compete across four events: vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. There will -

also be individual and all-around medals awarded.

For the Tokyo Olympics, Team USA included Biles, Lee, Chiles and Grace McCallum, along with Jade Carey and MyKayla Skinner competing as individuals.

The U.S. women dominated much of their competition in Japan, earning gold medals in the all-around and floor exercise events, as well as a silver medal in the team category.

The women's team hopes to keep their impressive Olympic record going as they prepare for the Summer Games in Paris.

Biles' teammate from the Rio Olympics Laurie Hernandez previously told PEOPLE that the four-time Olympic gold medalist "really is one of the best. You can count on her."

"You know you're going to watch greatness when her name pops up," Hernandez said.
