US women can bring six gymnasts to Tokyo: four-person team; Jade Carey, who earned likely spot through event World Cup series; and another individual.

LFG, which begins streaming Thursday, features Megan Rapinoe, Jessica McDonald, Sam Mewis, Kelley O’Hara, Christen Press and Becky Sauerbrunn.

Venues will be capped at 50 percent capacity, with maximum of 10,000 fans at the Olympics, which begin July 23. Decision on Paralympics still to come.

Simone Biles and Japan’s Kohei Uchimura are the only gymnasts to win every major international title in an entire, four-year Olympic cycle.

Whether Chellsie Memmel, 32, makes it to Olympic trials is, at this point, irrelevant. The 2008 Olympic silver medalist has already proven herself.

Gymnastics officials should be celebrating the talent that make Biles a once-in-a-lifetime athlete instead of throwing up barriers to achieve parity.
