Simone Biles officially made the U.S. gymnastics team for the 2024 Paris Olympics after competing in the trials
Simone Biles is headed to the 2024 Paris Olympics after securing her spot on the U.S. gymnastics team.
Biles previously won four gold medals and one bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Despite ultimately earning a silver and a bronze medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, she was forced to withdraw from multiple events after suffering from the “twisties,” which caused her to become disoriented in the air during the competition.
Of her potential to redeem herself at the 2024 Olympics, she insisted at the time, “If I don’t make it to Paris, it won’t absolutely crush me.” She continued: “After everything that transpired in Tokyo, I took a lot I worked on myself. I still do therapy weekly and it’s just been so exciting to come out here and have the confidence I had before that after everything that happened. … I feel like I lost a part of sometimes and to come back here and do what I did tonight and have that support from the fans and everybody watching, I just couldn’t thank them enough.
