If you’re wondering what this year’s Olympics gymnastics team has nicknamed themselves, you’re about to, well, find out.

It’s become something of a tradition for Team USA’s female gymnasts to give themselves a team name — and though this year’s Paris Games are no exception, the group has so far kept things under wraps.

But at a press conference on Tuesday, July 30 following their gold medal win in the team final, the quintet — Simone BilesJordan ChilesSuni LeeHezley Rivera and Jade Carey — finally revealed their saucy name: “F[–k] Around and Find Out.”

“All the good names were taken!” Biles joked to reporters after the presser’s end.

It was three-time gold medal gymnast Aly Raisman who got to the bottom of the mystery, as she played reporter at the press conference and asked the burning question from the audience.

Though the gymnasts initially encouraged one another to keep things between them (“Don’t say it!” they whispered), and Biles declared she was “not going to say it,” Chiles encouraged her to “just abbreviate it,” which she eventually did, if a bit reluctantly.

“F… A…,” she said, struggling to do the abbreviation as Chiles tried to whisper it to her. Then Biles gave up: “F[–k] around and find out,” she said, as the room broke out in laughter.

Past gymnastics team names for Team USA include the Fierce Five in London 2012, the Final Five in Rio 2016 and the Fighting Four in Tokyo in 2021.

Team F Around and Find Out’s gold medal Tuesday night came thanks to a final score of 171.296, nearly six points above the second-place Italy. It marked a return to form for Biles, 27, who helped lead the team to victory three years after she withdrew mid-competition during the Tokyo Olympics.

“I think in 2016 we were destined to win gold, and so whenever we went out there, we did our job and we did win gold, and it was just like we were a little young and naive,” she said after at the press conference. “It didn’t hit the way that it does now, now that I’m older and we have so much more experience and we’re out here really having fun and enjoying what we’re doing.”

In an interview on the Today show earlier this month, Hoda Kotb offered the team some fun suggestions, including the Fantastic Five, the Phenomenal Five and the Fearless Five — all of which they shot down.

“Okay that’s cute,” Biles said, while the rest of her team agreed. “But I feel like it has to be a little bit more younger [and] hip. Ask the TikTokers. They’ll think of something.”
