*Corrections

• Suni Lee's signature event is the uneven bars! Ameer mistakenly called them the parallel bars (rookie mistake perpetuating the patriarchy!)
• Leylah Fernandez's French Open match that got postponed is her 2nd round match, not 1st.
• Allisen Corpuz, defending champion of the US Women's Open (golf) was a rookie in 2022 and won the Open in her second full season, not her first.
