Simone Biles is all set to qualify for her third consecutive Olympics which is less than a month away from starting in Paris. The five-time Olympic individual champion took to the mat in Minneapolis ahead of the U.S. Gymnastics Olympic Trials 2024 on June 26. During a podium training session, the 27-year-old performed a breathtaking balance beam routine.
After a relatively disappointing campaign at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, majorly because of twisties, Biles will be eyeing to sweep all four apparatus as well as the all-around gold at the Paris Olympics. She started her 2024 season at the U.S. Classic 2024, and as expected, she won the all-around competition with a score 59.500.
Continuing her dominance, Biles swept all five available gold medals at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships 2024. A score of 119.750 secured her the record-extending ninth national all-around title. As she sets foot in Minneapolis, Biles looks ready to win her third consecutive U.S. Trials all-around title.
