How tall are Team USA’s female gymnasts? The answer varies much more than many people expect.
Simone Biles is officially listed at just 4’8″, while current and recent U.S. elite gymnasts such as Skye Blakely and Kayla DiCello are listed at 5’4″. Between them are Olympic champions Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee and Jade Carey, along with other prominent U.S. gymnasts around 5’0″ to 5’3″.
The Team USA roster is also changing as the sport moves toward the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. On August 9, 2026, USA Gymnastics selected its new 2026–27 Senior Women’s National Team following the U.S. Championships. Hezly Rivera won her second consecutive national all-around title, while Jade Carey, Skye Blakely and several younger U.S. elites were named to the 13-woman team.
Here is an updated look at Team USA women’s gymnast heights, from the shortest verified athletes to some of the tallest.
Team USA Women’s Gymnast Heights at a Glance
The table below uses Team USA profiles or official university athletic rosters wherever possible.
| Gymnast | Height | Approx. Centimeters | Team USA Connection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simone Biles | 4’8″ | 142.2 cm | 2024 Olympian |
| Jordan Chiles | 4’11” | 149.9 cm | 2024 Olympian |
| Suni Lee | 5’0″ | 152.4 cm | 2024 Olympian |
| Leanne Wong | 5’1″ | 154.9 cm | 2024 traveling replacement athlete |
| Tiana Sumanasekera | 5’1″ | 154.9 cm | Former Team USA gymnast; 2024 non-traveling replacement |
| Jade Carey | 5’2″ | 157.5 cm | 2024 Olympian, 2026–27 National Team |
| Shilese Jones | 5’3″ | 160.0 cm | World medalist and former/current-cycle Team USA athlete |
| Skye Blakely | 5’4″ | 162.6 cm | 2026–27 National Team |
| Kayla DiCello | 5’4″ | 162.6 cm | Recent U.S. National Team member |
One update is worth noting for Tiana Sumanasekera. She previously represented the United States and was named a non-traveling replacement athlete for the 2024 Olympic team, but her current World Gymnastics athlete profile lists her as representing Sri Lanka.
This is not an official average of the current national team. It is a comparison of prominent current and recent Team USA gymnasts whose heights can be verified through stronger public sources.
What Is the Average Height of a Team USA Female Gymnast?
There is no single official Team USA average, partly because USA Gymnastics does not publish height for every national-team member.
However, the nine gymnasts in the verified comparison above have an average height of approximately:
61.1 inches, or 155.2 cm
That equals roughly:
5’1.1″
So for an easy-to-remember answer, about 5’1″ is a useful reference height for this selected group of prominent U.S. gymnasts.
Who Is the Shortest Team USA Gymnast?
Among the prominent U.S. gymnasts with verified heights in this comparison, Simone Biles is the shortest at 4’8″, or approximately 142 cm. Her current Team USA athlete profile lists her at 4’8″.
She is considerably shorter than several of her recent teammates.
Jordan Chiles is listed at 4’11”, Suni Lee at 5’0″, Jade Carey at 5’2″, and Skye Blakely at 5’4″.
Biles’ career is also a good reminder that an athlete does not have to match an average height to succeed in elite gymnastics.
Who Is the Tallest Team USA Female Gymnast?
Among the athletes included in this verified comparison, Skye Blakely and Kayla DiCello are both listed at 5’4″, or approximately 163 cm. Florida’s official 2026 roster lists both gymnasts at that height.
Shilese Jones is listed at 5’3″, while Jade Carey is listed at 5’2″.
This does not mean that 5’4″ is the absolute height of the tallest gymnast on the current U.S. Senior National Team. Reliable height information is unavailable for several members of the 2026–27 roster, so a definitive shortest-to-tallest ranking of the entire current team cannot yet be made. USA Gymnastics lists 13 women on the current Senior National Team.
How Has Team USA Changed Since Paris 2024?
The U.S. women’s elite picture is changing quickly as the sport moves toward Los Angeles 2028.
Hezly Rivera has continued competing at the elite level and won her second consecutive U.S. senior all-around championship on August 9, 2026. She scored 111.950 across the two days of competition and was named to the 2026–27 Senior National Team.
Jade Carey also returned to elite competition in 2026. At the U.S. Championships she won the national vault title with a two-day total of 28.500, finished fifth in the all-around and was named to the new national team.
Suni Lee announced in July 2026 that she had returned to gymnastics training, putting herself back on a path that could lead toward a third Olympics in Los Angeles. She had not yet returned to elite competition by the 2026 U.S. Championships and is not on the newly selected 2026–27 Senior National Team.
Jordan Chiles has not competed at the elite level since Paris 2024. As of August 2026, she has publicly remained undecided about whether she will pursue Los Angeles 2028, saying that “the wait is still on” when asked about a possible comeback during the U.S. Championships.
Why the 2026–27 Team Looks Different From Paris 2024
The current national team reflects the transition from the Paris Olympic cycle toward LA28.
The five women selected to the 2024 U.S. Olympic team were Simone Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee and Hezly Rivera.
Of those five, only Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera are currently members of the 13-woman 2026–27 Senior National Team.
The current team also includes:
- Skye Blakely
- Charleigh Bullock
- Dulcy Caylor
- Tatum Drusch
- Reese Esponda
- Zoey Molomo
- Caroline Moreau
- Claire Pease
- Lila Richardson
- Simone Rose
- Izzy Stassi
Together with Carey and Rivera, those athletes make up the 13-member team selected after the 2026 U.S. Championships.
Rivera led the 2026 national all-around standings with 111.950, followed by Claire Pease at 110.800 and Charleigh Bullock at 110.550. Carey won vault, Pease won uneven bars, Rivera won balance beam, and Reese Esponda won floor exercise.
That changing roster is one reason this height list is worth updating as the United States moves closer to its home Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.
