Washington: Winning the US women’s all-around title at the US Olympic Gymnastics Trials in St Louis on Sunday, Simone Biles has booked her ticket for Tokyo Games.
Biles scored 118.098, more than two points ahead of second-place finisher Suni Lee (115.832), who also automatically qualified for the Tokyo Games.
Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum, Jade Carey, and MyKayla Skinner also have places on the US team.
Of the six US gymnasts, Biles will be the only one in Tokyo with previous Olympic experience. The women’s team is seeking their third straight gold medal at the Games and Biles will try to capture back-to-back all-around titles and a fifth consecutive by a US gymnast.
