Simone Biles wears the American jersey for the first time at the Paris Olympics

Simone Biles and the rest of Team USA got their first look at their all-around leotards for the Paris Olympics that begin later this week.

There are a variety of options to use for Biles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera and Jordan Chiles.

It seems that the red, white and blue version will be the one that the quintet will wear during the team competition.

There are several other iterations that Americans can use during individual eventing and individual discipline events.

The feature that unites each jersey is the 10,000 Swarovski crystals that are on each uniform.

The team received their jerseys in large, luxurious red boxes, with the Eiffel Tower in Paris in the background.

“This is beautiful!” Biles said, with Lee at her side, his jaw nearly on the floor. “You guys killed these lions!”

The gymnasts may have been happier than children at Christmas opening presents with each new leotard.

Biles is now the oldest member of Team USA at 27 and is scheduled to compete in a wide range of Olympic events in Paris.

Biles is already in top form, having won the all-around competition at the Olympic trials, beating out all four of her American teammates.

Winning a medal in Paris would make Biles the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history.

The competition begins for the United States on Sunday with the team event.
