With the U.S. Olympic team trials less than a month away, Biles brought her A-game to this weekend’s competition. “I feel like every single championship stands out for a different reason, but this one stands out specifically because it’s the road to Tokyo,” Biles said to Olympics.com. “We came out here, and we did what we were supposed to.”
At 24, an age when many gymnasts are well into retirement, Biles is among the most accomplished gymnasts in history and is already the most decorated gymnast of all time. She continues to outperform her competitors by attempting tricks that have never even been seen in competition before and now has four moves officially named after her.
