Simone Biles secures spot on Tokyo Olympic gymnastics team with epic trials routines

In a not very surprising turn of events, gymnastics superstar Simone Biles, one of the most dominant athletes in the world, has secured her spot on the United States Gymnastics team for the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games. 

Biles, who won four gold medals at the last summer Games, wowed the crowd during the U.S. Gymnastics Olympic trials in St. Louis, over the weekend. On Sunday, the 24-year-old earned one of two automatic guaranteed places on the team.  But the spot wasn't as easy to secure as some may have expected of the reigning world and Olympic champion. After a few mistakes during her bars routine, a fall off the beam and a step out of bounds during her floor exercise, she found herself second to Sunisa Lee in her all-around score.
