Brazil finished second with a score of 165.530, led by 24-year-old Rebecca Andrade, becoming the first South American country to win a team medal at the Olympics or Worlds.

Team France won bronze with a score of 164.064 after excellent performances on the beam and vault, highlighted by Melanie De Jesus Dos Santos, who trains at the Biles Family Gym in Texas.
