The World Championships conclude on Sunday with the group individual event finals, which will be carried live on the USA Gymnastics YouTube channel. By finishing in the top 24, the USA’s group qualified to compete in the 2015 World Championships, which is the first of two opportunities to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games. Based on available records, this is believed to be the USA’s best finish in the World group all-around finals.
