Simone Biles won big at U.S. Classic with Taylor Swift routine. Who might join her on Team USA?
Simone Biles looks ready for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The gymnastics G.O.A.T earned the highest overall score at the U.S. Classic and was the top scorer in the floor exercise, which began with Taylor Swift's "...Ready For It?" Biles will likely make Team USA – but who else could join her?
At the U.S. Classic in Connecticut on Saturday, Biles, 27, earned an all-around score of 59.500, with the highest scores in both the vault and floor exercises. She was two points ahead of her next closest competitor, Shilese Jones, who earned the top score on bars.
The U.S. Classic is a top Olympic qualifying event. The high scorers from that event will go to the U.S. Nationals in Fort Worth, Texas from May 30 to June 2. The U.S. Gymnastics Olympic Trials will start on June 27, ahead of the summer games which begin on July 26.
While Jones, 21, took silver at the U.S. Classic, Jordan Chiles, who competed on Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics, took bronze.
Suni Lee and Jade Carey, who also made Team USA in 2020, also medaled in individual events on Saturday and Carey placed fourth overall.
