At the US Olympic gymnastic trials on Friday in Minneapolis, Simone Biles sought to continue the spectacular run of form that’s already propelled her to become the most decorated American gymnast in US history, despite taking a two-year break from competition following the 2020 Toyko Olympics.
She finished her first rotation at the Target Center in second place overall, as observers predicted a strong chance she’d take the top spot in the meet, which would earn her an automatic ticket to the 2024 Paris Games.
