    The U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials for the 2024 Paris Games finished Sunday night with Day 2 of the women’s competition, after the men’s Olympic team was announced Saturday.

    And to the surprise of absolutely no one, Simone Biles finished at the top of the board in her usual dominant fashion to make her third Olympic team. Biles is a seven-time Olympic medalist — four of them gold — also competed at the 2016 Rio Games and 2021 Tokyo Games.

    On the second day of her Olympic trials, 27-year-old Biles continued to shine, especially with her Taylor Swift-themed floor routine , which Swift herself praised .

    Sunday on her first tumbling pass, Biles reached 12 feet at her peak height , according to the NBC broadcast. That’s unreal.

    But Biles isn’t the only star returning to the Olympics for Team USA, but she was the only automatic qualifier as the trials champ while everyone else was chosen by a panel. She’s joined by reigning all-around Olympic champion Suni Lee, Olympic silver medalist Jordan Chiles, Olympic gold medalist Jade Carey and 16-year-old Hezly Rivera.

    Women’s gymnastics at the 2024 Paris Olympics begins Sunday, July 28 and concludes August 5.
