Team USA's artistic gymnastics squad is officially set following the conclusion of the U.S. Olympic trials on Sunday.
Decorated Olympian Simone Biles and defending world champion Brody Malone lead the women's and men's teams, respectively. Reigning all-around world bronze medalist Frederick Richard was the first to secure his spot on the Paris-bound men's team by automatic qualification. He met the requirement of a top-three finish in three or more events, recording first place on high bar, second on parallel bars and third on floor exercise.
Biles will head to her third Olympic Games with a clinching score of 117.25 and is the oldest female American gymnast to go to the Games. Joining Biles are three other Olympians -- Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles -- and 16-year-old Junior World silver medalist Hezly Rivera.
Following her qualification, Biles reflected on her journey back to the Olympics after exiting the Tokyo games early due to the "twisties." "I knew I wasn't done after the performances in Tokyo, so just getting back in the gym and working hard and trusting the process with [coaches] Cécile [Canqueteau-Landi] and Laurent [Landi], I knew I'd be back," she told NBC. Malone began the trials strong, claiming the top spots in the first, third and fourth rotations.
But Richard eventually overcame a slow start to finish the day atop the leaderboard. He ended the first day with an 85.6, beating Malone out by a mere half a point.
