Hezly Rivera, a 16-year-old from Oradell, New Jersey, has earned her spot on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team for the Paris Olympics! 🌟🏅
Hezly, the youngest member of the team, made headlines by outperforming legends like Simone Biles and Sunisa Lee on the balance beam at the Olympic trials. Her remarkable performance, including tying for the top score on beam with Joscelyn Roberson, secured her place among the best.

Her father, Henry Rivera, who hails from the Dominican Republic, has been her biggest cheerleader, guiding her with a “mamba mentality.”
