The much-anticipated U.S. women's lineup for qualifications has been confirmed. The lineups mirror the first four up during podium training, outlined in our recap of the training.

Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, and Gabby Douglas will be competing all-around. This leaves the incredibly talented Laurie Hernandez out of all-around contention. While it seemed as if Hernandez should be a lock for the all-around after proving consistency and coming in second at the Olympic Trials, the selection committee has decided on the 2012 veterans Raisman and Douglas as the other two all-arounders along with the obvious choice of Biles.

The U.S. women are the favorites for team gold and have potential to go one-two in the around as well.
