An unnamed alternate for the U.S. women's gymnastics team has tested positive for the coronavirus. It's not clear what, if anything, that means for the rest of the team, including superstar Simone Biles. USA Gymnastics said the team is continuing to prepare for the Games.

"We can confirm that an alternate on the women's artistic gymnastics team tested positive for COVID-19," the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee said in a statement to NPR. "In alignment with local rules and protocols, the athlete has been transferred to a hotel to quarantine. Out of respect for the individual's privacy, we cannot provide more information at this time."

USA Gymnastics said in a statement that one other alternate is quarantining.

The U.S. women's team has four alternates: Kayla DiCello, Kara Eaker, Emma Malabuyo and Leanne Wong.
