Is Simone Biles going to the Paris Olympics?
Simone Biles’ presence in Paris is almost certain, but it will be formalized after tonight’s final session of the Olympic trials competition. Biles, widely considered the greatest gymnast of all time, will be making her third appearance at the Summer Olympics. He won four golds and a bronze at the 2016 Rio Games, then a silver and a bronze at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
Shilize Jones’ injury at Olympic trials: What to know
Shilize Jones injured her knee on vault in pre-meet warmups Friday night, and scratched all but the uneven bars. USA Gymnastics said the decision not to compete on Sunday was made after re-evaluation on Saturday.
Jones had established herself on a par with Simone Biles for the Paris team by winning all-around medals at the last two World Championships. She arrived at the trials nursing a shoulder injury that kept her out of the national championships earlier this month, but coach Sarah Korngold said she was ready to compete.
However, in warmups on Friday, Jones came down from her vault and fell to the mat, holding her right foot. Biles ran to check on her, and Jones remained sitting on the podium for several minutes before being helped backstage by Korngold and a medical staff.
Suni Lee’s health journey and how it changed her mindset
Suni Lee is in good position to make the five-member US team for the Paris Olympics. She placed fourth at the national championships in early June and has since advanced her routines on uneven bars and floor. But a health crisis 15 months ago – she developed kidney disease, which caused so much fluid to accumulate in her body that she couldn’t even handle it – has thrown her life into disarray. There were days when she could not even get up from bed.
Lee said the phone call she received on January 4, details of which she wanted to keep private, was a turning point for her. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m going back to the gym tomorrow and I’ll be better than ever.’ That was the day I said, ‘Yes, this is what I want.'” She said.

Simone Biles’ floor routine catches Taylor Swift’s attention
Pop superstar Taylor Swift responded to a post on social media about Simone Biles’ floor routine Friday night, which features Swift’s “Ready for It.”
Simone Biles Vault: Watch Her Yurchenko Double Pike
Simone Biles got a standing ovation from fans for her Yurchenko double pike on Friday. No matter how many times she does it, it’s always amazing to see it in person. Biles gets a lot of height on vault, and the power required to do it practically ripples through her flips. He had to take a step to control the landing, but that’s just finding a loophole. The judge apparently agreed, giving him 15.975 which included 9.75 for execution.
how many olympics have been held Simone Biles went?
Biles has competed in two editions of the Summer Olympics: the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, and the 2021 Games in Tokyo. However, she only took part in some of her scheduled programs in 2021 after experiencing a case of the “twisties”, which left her unable to sense where she was in the air, putting her physical safety at risk.
How many gold medals does Simone Biles have?
Simone Biles has won four Olympic gold medals, all at the 2016 Rio Games. She led the “Final Five” to team gold, claimed individual all-around gold and won two of the four individual events: floor exercise and vault. She has also won a silver medal (in the 2021 team competition) and two Olympic bronzes on balance beam in 2016 and 2021.
What happened to Kayla DiCello?
Kayla DiCello suffered an Achilles injury in the first vault on Friday. She left the floor in a wheelchair and USA Gymnastics announced that she was scratched for the rest of the night.
Jordan Chiles: what to know
The Tokyo Olympian made her case for the US Classic with solid performances in all four events. Chiles may not be able to give the United States a big score in any one event, but she is not leaving any stone unturned.
“I think I realized I had the potential,” Chiles said of the difference between this season and last season, when she struggled with the transition from NCAA to elite.
“A lot of times, you say you want to do something and you never know what’s going to happen because there are so many eyes and expectations on you,” Chiles said. “When you put that aside, you realize, ‘I’m just going to push through this and be the person I need to be and give every effort I can in every practice.'”

Simone Biles is a contender for the Olympics. But who supports him after his injuries?
Call it carnage, chaos or just plain bad luck, the four women joining Simone Biles at the Paris Olympics may be healthy enough for the trip.
In the span of 30 minutes Friday night, Shilis Jones suffered a knee injury, limiting her to one event, and Kayla DiCello was out with an Achilles injury. Meanwhile, Sky Blakely, a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. teams at the last two world championships, was limping around the floor on crutches due to an Achilles injury suffered during training two days earlier.
On top of everything else, what makes this so devastating is that the U.S. women’s team was in very strong shape, if not set, after the national championships four weeks earlier. And now it’s all gone haywire.
Nancy Armor explains what all the injuries mean for Team USA.
