Transcendent once again, Simone Biles will lead U.S. Olympic gymnastics team in Paris

Simone Biles won the U.S. Olympic Team Trials by more than five points and secured her spot on the team in Paris.

For the 27-year-old gymnast, who has already won seven Olympic medals, the Games in 2024 are the next stop on her remarkable return to dominance after a two-year hiatus to tend to her mental health.
