Texans head to Tokyo

It looks as though the Lone Star State will be well represented in this year’s Olympic Games.

Spring, Texas’ Simone Biles will lead the U.S. women’s gymnastics team as the only 2016 Olympian to return. It’s no secret that Biles is the best. She’s commonly referred to as the greatest gymnast in the world. The New York Times described her historic, seventh U.S. Championship title as “no surprise”—her performance leaving “no doubt” in Biles’ ability to dominate the competition.

Following victory in Fort Worth, Biles and 17 hopefuls headed to Olympic trials. Among them are Skye Blakely of Frisco, Jordan Chiles of Houston and Emma Malabuyo of Dallas.

NBC Sports described Chiles as a stand-out and top contender. A recent New York Times spotlight detailed Chiles’ journey to Tokyo and her friendship with Biles. The two will be an unstoppable duo.
