Simone Biles is heading back to the Olympics, along with some of her teammates. The gymnastics superstar secured her third trip to the sport’s biggest stage by winning the U.S. Olympic trials on Sunday night, with a two-day all-around total of 117.225, clinching the sole automatic spot on the five-woman team.
Three years after the Tokyo Olympics, where she withdrew from multiple finals to prioritize her mental health, Biles returns to the games looking as impressive as ever at 27. “Trusting the process and my coaches, I knew I’d be back,” Biles said.
Biles won’t be going alone. Reigning Olympic champion Sunisa Lee, 2020 Olympic floor exercise champion Jade Carey, 2020 Olympic silver medalist Jordan Chiles, and 16-year-old Hezly Rivera were also named to the five-woman team. Joscelyn Roberson and Leanne Wong are the alternates.
