Simone Biles added to USA Gymnastics team

Four-time gold medalist Simone Biles has been added to the USA Gymnastics 2018 national team, the organization announced Thursday afternoon.

Biles, who will turn 21 on March 14, was added to the team after the Athlete Selection Committee viewed video submissions that showed her current performance level, according to a press release.

"Based on the level of skills and gymnastics we saw on the videos, the committee was very encouraged about where she is with her gymnastics and voted to add to Simone to the team" senior vice president for women's gymnastics Rhonda Faehn said in a statement.
