SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – Simone Biles can officially book that plane ticket for Brazil.
The three-time world gymnastics champion secured her spot on the 2016 U.S. Olympic team with a near flawless tour of the SAP Center on Sunday night, earning an automatic berth on the five-woman team by strolling to the all-around title.
Biles, who hasn’t lost in more than three years, posted a two-day total of 123.250. Laurie Hernandez was second and Aly Raisman third.
Defending Olympic champion Gabby Douglas improved after a shaky performance on Friday but remained in seventh position.
U.S. national team coordinator Martha Karolyi will lead a selection committee to fill in the other four spots behind Biles. The Americans are heavy favorites to back up the team gold they won in London four years ago.
