London, England – Jordyn Wieber hopes to shake off Sunday's all-around disappointment and lead the U.S. women's gymnastics squad to its first team gold medal since the 1996 Games in Atlanta.
The reigning world champion in the all-around, Wieber notched the fourth-best all-around score in the women's qualifiers, but did not make the cut for the individual event because she finished behind teammates Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas. Rules state that a country can send no more than two gymnasts to an individual event.
Wieber was still a big part of a Team USA showing that saw the group notch the highest score in qualifications. They finished just ahead of medal hopeful Russia as well as third-place China, which won gold in Beijing four years ago.
Great Britain qualified fifth, while China slide at eighth.
Michael Phelps could break the all-time Olympic medal record Tuesday with two possible finals on tap. Phelps qualified for the 200-meter butterfly final, a race he's won in each of the last two Olympics, and is also expected to race in the 800 freestyle relay. He has 17 career medals, two shy of breaking the current overall Olympic record of 18 set by Larisa Latynina, a Russian gymnast who competed in the 1950s and 60s.
The other swimming finals Tuesday are in the women's 200 free and women's 200 individual medley. Missy Franklin, the 17-year-old rising star who won her first Olympic gold medal Monday night, is racing in the 200 free.

As one of five teams already secured a spot in the women's soccer quarterfinals, the United States can secure first place in Group G with at least a draw against North Korea at Old Trafford. France, meanwhile, can qualify for the quarters with a win over Colombia.
In Group E, Great Britain and Brazil have already locked up the top two spots and the winner of Tuesday's encounter at Wembley Stadium takes first place. New Zealand and Cameroon also battle in group play.
A victory by Canada over Group F opponent would push it into the quarterfinals as long as Japan drops its meeting with South Africa.

Venus will also be in action in women's doubles with her sister, Serena. They are the defending gold medalists in that competition and play Germans Angelique Kerber and Sabine Lisicki in a second-round match.
In second-round play in men's doubles, the American Bryan brothers -- Mike and Bob -- are in action. The Swiss duo of Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka also play.
U.S. medal hopeful Vincent Hancock looks to claim gold for a second straight Olympics as the men double-dip in men's skeet with day two of qualification before the finals later in the morning.

He could be pushed by Great Britain's David Florence, who picked up a silver in Beijing.
Germany's Ingrid Klimke and Sweden's Sara Algotsson-Ostholt share the individual eventing lead in equestrian heading into the final day. Germany has the team lead, too, but only by a narrow margin over Great Britain with Sweden a close third after Monday's cross country portion.
