Simone Biles proved once again why she is called the Greatest of All Time during the first day of women’s competition at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials in Minnesota.
With her eyes on making her third Olympic team—something no one’s done since Dominique Dawes—Biles showed off her incredible talent and determination.
Coming off her ninth all-around U.S. Championships title, Biles entered the competition with high expectations. She started the night with a spectacular floor routine, earning the highest score of the evening with a 14.850.
Biles then moved to the uneven bars, where her skillful execution placed her at No. 2 in the standings. Despite this, she quickly regained her momentum on the balance beam. Although it wasn’t her strongest event of the night, she still delivered a solid performance that kept her in the running.
Returning to the floor for her next routine, she awed the judges and fans. The performance earned back her earlier score of 14.850 and reclaimed her spot at the top. Her consistency and flair on the floor exercise reaffirmed her status as the leading contender for the Olympics.
