If being Sunday’s highest-rated television program were a sport, then the US Olympic Trails on NBC would have taken the gold.

The US Olympic trials, which determine the athletes who will make their way to Tokyo next month, continued with the final trial for Women’s Gymnastics. Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Grace McCallum, Jade Carey and MyKayla Skinner will rep the U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics. Per Nielsen Live + Same Day fast affiliates, the 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. trial broadcast to an audience of 5.49 viewers and garnered a 1.2 rating.

The Chase trailed behind gathering 3.18M viewers and a 0.4 rating and To Tell The Truth (0.3, 2.74M) followed.

Having an even quieter evening was Fox, with reruns of Duncanville and HouseBroken earlier in the night and PBC Fight Night from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. (0.1, .63M)

Over at the CW, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (0.1, 0.46M) led into Batwoman‘s Season 2 finale (0.4M, 0.1), which saw a notable drop – one tenth in ratings and 27% in viewers – from its opener in April.
