American gymnast Simone Biles secured her spot in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics team after winning the two-day trials. She won the all-around with 118.098 points to finish 2.66 ahead of Suni Lee, who finished with 115.832 points, reports AFP.

Simone Biles, who is likely competing domestically for the final time, is the world’s number one and the most decorated American gymnast. 

Simone Biles is a favourite to become the first woman in 50 years to defend her Olympic title. Of the six US gymnasts, Simone Biles will be the only one in Tokyo with previous Olympic experience. The 24-year-old Biles will be the oldest American women’s gymnast since 26-year-old Annia Hatch and Mohini Bhardwaj, 25, in the 2004 Olympics.
