Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history and the reigning world all-around champion, but she has not officially clinched a spot on the U.S. team for the Paris Olympics. Biles will headline the field of the country’s top gymnasts at the Olympic trials, her final step in earning a trip to her third Olympics.
Five men and five women will represent the United States in artistic gymnastics in Paris, and the selection committees will announce those gymnasts at the conclusion of the competitions in Minneapolis — Saturday evening for the men, Sunday night for the women.
Entering this meet, no athletes have guaranteed spots, though Biles is nearly certain to be included as long as she’s healthy. She is joined by a talented pool of women, including three other Tokyo Olympians and several more contenders with experience at the world championships. The U.S. men’s team is coming off a strong performance at last fall’s world championships, highlighted by a bronze medal in the team competition.
