The 2020 Tokyo Olympics are underway and Team USA have been sharing some incredible behind-the-scenes moments, including from gymnastics superstar Simone Biles.

The 24-year-old and her teammates were at the gymnastics arena on Saturday to cheer on the men's team whose events got underway on the second day of the event.

With no spectators allowed inside to cheer on the athletes, the team's have taken to cheering on each other, and Simone was joined by Mykayla Skinner, Sunisa Lee, Grace McCallum, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey.

The women's qualifying round starts on 25 July. Simone has become one of the greatest gymnasts in the world, but as well as reshaping the world of gymnastics, she was also named to HELLO!'S Kind List as in her spare time she puts her heart and soul into helping foster children.

Partly growing up in foster care herself, it's a cause close to Simone and in 2016, she teamed up with Mattress Firm to support their Foster Kids programme, which has donated more than 610,000 items such as clothes and school supplies to foster kids and their families.

Other Team USA athletes to keep an eye during the Olympics include Katie Ledecky, the five-time Gold medallist who is expected to be on the podium in several events this year, and Caeleb Dressel, 24, who won Gold in six out of eight disciplines.

Carissa Moore and Caroline Marks will compete for Team USA in the surfing competition.
