For the 27-year-old gymnast, who has already won seven Olympic medals, the Games in 2024 are the next stop on her remarkable return to dominance after a two-year hiatus to tend to her mental health.

Simone Biles won the U.S. Olympic Team Trials by more than five points and secured her spot on the team in Paris.

Biles will enter the Olympics in Paris as a favorite to win gold medals in the individual all-around, vault and floor exercise. Then, on Friday, Shilese Jones, another favorite to make the Paris squad, tweaked her knee as she warmed up on the vault. Minutes later, a third gymnast, Kayla DiCello, was forced to leave the competition in a wheelchair after hurting her Achilles on the vault.

"We shouldn't even be aiming for just a medal. We should be aiming for gold, and we're going to land on something," Richard said Saturday.
