As expected, U.S. gymnastics star Simone Biles has qualified for the Paris Olympics after winning the all-around competition at the U.S. Olympic trials.

In a historically difficult selection process, one choice was easy. Simone Biles will be on the U.S. women's gymnastics team for the Paris Olympics. The 27-year-old earned her third consecutive Olympic berth by winning the Olympic trial all-around crown Sunday at Target Center. She entered the second day of competition with a 2.5-point lead and finished with a score of 117.225, five points better than her nearest competitor.

star Jordan Chiles’ third-place finish in the all-around will likely lock up her second Olympic selection. Reigning Olympic all-around champion Suni Lee, who finished second to Biles in the all-around, and Jade Carey are in position to return to the Olympic stage with top-five all-around finishes as well as individual event medal potential. Lee excels on bars and beam while Carey, the Tokyo Olympic floor champion, could medal in floor and vault.
