STAY have made their way to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Team Mexico’s Alexa Moreno took the mat on Sunday for the ultimate Stray Kids-themed gymnastics floor routine. In a now-viral clip, the 29-year-old athlete is seen performing a series of flips, twists and rolls to the K-pop superstars’ hits including “S-Class,” “Maniac” and “LALALALA.”
It’s been an exciting first week of the Olympic games, especially for Team USA. The country’s gymnasts competed in women’s qualifications at Bercy Arena, which ended with Simone Biles and Suni Lee finishing first and second in the all-around, respectively. The ladies collectively earned 172.296 points and will advance to the finals on Tuesday (July 30).
Overall, Team USA — which boasts a whopping 594 athletes — in all sports have won three gold medals, eight silver medals and nine bronze medals.
Meanwhile, it’s been an equally exciting week for Stray Kids. The group’s new album ATE opens at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Aug. 3), they become the first group ever to debut at No. 1 with their first five charting albums.
Stray Kids previously debuted atop the chart with ODDINARY, MAXIDENT (both in 2022), ROCK-STAR and 5-STAR (both in 2023). ATE also arrived with 231,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending July 25, according to Luminate. That’s the largest week of 2024 for any K-pop album, and the sixth-biggest debut for any album this year.
