The U.S. women gymnastics team will enter the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing as a slight favorite after capturing the world gymnastics title in by a slim one-point margin over the favored and defending champion Chinese team. After a couple of spills from the balance beam that put them behind China in the standings going into the final rotation, the Americans rebounded with three winning routines on the floor by Shawn Johnson, Shayla Worley and Alicia Sacramone. The only other time the U.S. won the world title was 2003.
The U.S. men finished fourth in the team event in Stuttgart, Germany.
