Simone Biles is leading the Olympic trials with four routines left to secure her spot on the Olympic team for the third time. Her teammate Jordan Chiles is close behind, with Suni Lee in third place. However, injuries have impacted the competition, with Kayla DiCello and Shilese Jones both getting injured during their vault routines, and Skye Blakely suffering a season-ending Achilles rupture during training.
Despite a few wobbles on the balance beam, Biles regained her first-place standing with a dominant performance on the floor and her signature vault, earning the highest score of the night. Suni Lee also impressed with a strong bars routine, showcasing her readiness for the Olympics. The selection committee will have a tough decision to make, especially considering the injuries that have occurred.
The top all-around finisher at the trials will automatically secure a spot on the Olympic team, while the remaining four spots will be determined by the selection committee based on performance at the trials and previous competitions. Four alternates will also be named, with two potentially traveling to Paris to train with the team. Fans can catch all the action of the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials for the 2024 Paris Olympics on NBC and Peacock through Sunday.
