Biles captured her ninth US all-around title earlier this month, winning on all four apparatus at the US championships in Fort Worth, Texas. Biles dazzled in winning four gold medals at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, but her expected star turn at the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games was cut short when she withdrew with the “twisties” ― a temporary mental block whereby gymnasts lose their sense of where they are in the air.Since returning to competition in August she has gone from strength to strength, piling up more medals including all-around gold at the world championships last year.
The 16 women in the field include Suni Lee, who won all-around gold and uneven bars bronze in Tokyo, who is in her best form since battling career-threatening kidney disease. Jones had to petition for an invitation to trials, coach Sarah Korngold saying yesterday she had arrived in Minneapolis pain free and ready to challenge for a first Olympic berth.
“Olympic trials for any sport is the hardest thing that you'll ever do in life because the finishing product is obviously the Olympics,” Chiles said. “This is where we're making an Olympic team.”
