After becoming a worldwide name during the 2016 Summer Games in Rio, Biles endured a tough 2020 run in Tokyo.

But the 27-year-old American is on top of the gymnastics world again and making another round of history.

Biles won the US Olympic trials on Sunday in Minneapolis, recording an all-around total of 117.225 and securing an automatic spot on the Unites States' five-woman team.

In turn, the four-time gold medal winner is set to become the oldest US Olympic female gymnast since 1952.

Biles will also be the fourth US female gymnast to compete in three Olympics.

"She is magnificent!" one fan tweeted.

"She’s not from the same universe as us," a second fan posted.

"Her landings were insane," a third fan wrote. "She didn't have one step out -- that routine was insane!"

"The definition of power," a fourth fan said. "The USA is blessed to have her representing us!"

Three years ago, Biles was in the center of the news during the COVID-19 pandemic because she suffered a severe case of the "twisties," which are described by gymnasts as a mental block during performances.

Biles withdrew from events to focus on her mental health.

In 2024, Biles is again a gold medal favorite and will enter Paris as the biggest name in the Summer Olympics.

"Trusting the process and (my coaches), I knew I'd be back," she said.

Sunisa Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera will join Biles in Paris.

She recently added a sixth world all-around title and a ninth national championship.
