Gymnastics star Simone Biles is clear for the Olympics in Paris later this summer. This after a clear victory in the American qualifications.

Biles took 117,225 points, a good margin ahead of second-placed Suni Lee on 111,675 points.

This will be the four-time Olympic gold medalist's third Olympics. At the last games in Tokyo, Biles was forced to withdraw from several events after struggling with mental health issues.

In the American gymnastics team for the Olympics, Biles will be joined by Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, and Hezly Riviera.

On hand to cheer on Biles was her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens.

"We're going to Paris. I'm so proud", Owens writes on his Instagram.

The Olympics in Paris kick off on July 26.

Corrected version: An earlier version contained incorrect information about Biles' last Olympics.
