The GIST: Pass the tissues, because a whole host of Olympic dreams were realized at this weekend’s USA Gymnastics and Track & Field Trials. Here are the biggest names to know with just 25 days to go until the Games begin.
Simone Biles flips to all-around title: As expected, the most decorated gymnast of all time soared to new heights this weekend, easily securing her third Games appearance with a standing ovation–worthy trials showing. So ready for it.
Records fall in the final weekend at TrackTown, USA: “Records are meant to be broken,” the competitors in Eugene, Oregon, apparently. Reigning Olympic champ Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone did Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone things last night, closing out the trials by running the 400m hurdles in a mind-numbingly fast 50.65 seconds, breaking her own world record in the process.
