(Reuters) - Simone Biles again showed her quality, outclassing the field at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships on Sunday to claim a record seventh all-around national title and make her selection to the Tokyo Olympic team a mere formality.

But who will get the other coveted spots on the U.S. squad will remain unanswered until the June 24-27 U.S. Olympic Trials, with several gymnasts putting down markers with strong results over the weekend at the Fort Worth meet.
