U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles had the fourth-best score at the Olympics women's gymnastics qualifying on Sunday, but likely won't compete in the all-around competition.

So what gives?

In all-around qualifying on Sunday, Simone Biles finished first with a dominant score of 59.566 points. Brazil's Rebeca Andrade finished second with a score of 57.700. Suni Lee finished third with a score of 56.132.

Jordan Chiles came in fourth with an all-around score of 56.065.

The top 24 competitors are eligible to compete in the all-around final. Except only two gymnasts from each country or organizing committee can compete.

So Biles and Lee are scheduled to compete in the all-around event on Thursday, as the top-two U.S. finishers, leaving Chiles, as a reserve.

Jordan Chiles worked with GK Elite on a custom competition leotard that was inspired by a Beyoncé tour outfit.
