Simone Biles Secures Spot for Third Olympics

Simone Biles has secured her spot for a third consecutive Olympic Games after a stellar performance at the U.S. Olympic Trials, making her the oldest American female gymnast to compete at the Olympics in 72 years. Joining her on the women's team are returning Olympians Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey, as well as 16-year-old newcomer Hezly Rivera. Biles's return follows her battles with the 'twisties' during the Tokyo Olympics, but she has since claimed her sixth world all-around title and multiple national championships. The men's team will feature Brody Malone, Frederick Richard, Paul Juda, Asher Hong, and Stephen Nedoroscik. The trials highlighted intense competition and notable performances, including Biles's fan-favorite floor routine set to Taylor Swift's music, which garnered attention from Swift herself.
