Simone Biles takes the floor tonight at the 2021 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. The U.S. National Championships will be held this weekend in Fort Worth, Texas, and is the last major gymnastics event before the U.S. Olympic Trials determine who will compete in the Tokyo Olympics.
One gymnast to watch is Biles, who surprised gymnastics fans at the recent U.S. Classic with her successful Yurchenko double jump, the first of the competition. She is the favorite to win the overall title at the 2021 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. If she finishes first, it would be her seventh U.S. women's all-around title, further extending the record she already holds.
Still, Biles will have to wait three weeks until the trials to make her Olympic bid. However, she is assured a spot on the women's team, which will likely consist of six gymnasts.
Other notable athletes on the women's side include Biles' training partner Jordan Childs, 2017 overall world champion Morgan Hurd, 2019 overall U.S. silver medalist Suni Lee, and Rio Olympics representative Laurie Hernandez.
On the men's side, Sam Mikulak is the favorite to win, but he has recently recovered from an elbow injury; the six-time overall U.S. champion plans to retire after the Tokyo Olympics.
