Simone Biles secured a spot at a third Olympic Games Sunday after winning the women’s all-around at the US Olympic Gymnastics Trials in Minneapolis.
Reigning world champion Simone Biles will become the fourth American woman gymnast to compete in three Olympic Games after placing first in the all-around competition at the 2024 US Olympic Gymnastics Trials Sunday in Minneapolis. The four-time Olympic gold medalist finished with an overall score of 117.225. Suni Lee came in second with a score of 111.675 and Jordan Chiles in third with 111.425. Biles started her night on the vault, posting a score of 15.500.
The 27-year-old Biles, who became the most decorated gymnast ever at last year’s world championships, clinched an automatic spot on the team after placing first. At the Tokyo Games in 2021, Biles experienced a phenomenon known as “the twisties” – a mental block causing gymnasts to lose track of their body positions – and subsequently withdrew from several events. She made her competitive return to gymnastics last year following an extended break from the sport to prioritize her mental health.
