Details: Category: Olympics; Created: Sunday, 27 August 2023 03:00

Simone Biles started her quest for an eighth US title with a fantastic performance on the first day of the US Gymnastics Championships. According to bookie pay per head reports, she ended the day with a score of 59.3, which placed her at the top of the leaderboard.

In her first rotation, Biles delivered a spectacular performance on the balancing beam despite a rough beginning caused by a misstep. According to preferred sportsbooks, she got back on track and opened the day with a 14.50, good enough for first place.

Shilese Jones and Biles were equal at 29.25 points after the second rotation. Then, Biles seized the lead after doing a Yurchenko double pike and then a Cheng on the vault, and she capped off the night with a miracle performance on the uneven bars.

First Day of US Gymnastics Championships

Jones will begin the next day in second position, one spot behind Skye Blakely. As the tournament lasts through Sunday, Biles will have a chance to add to her growing list of achievements. The 26-year-old has an opportunity to make history by being the first male or female gymnast to win eight US all-around titles. At seven, she is tied with Alfred Jochim for the most ever.

After an almost two-year layoff, Biles returned to competition earlier this month and promptly won the Core Hydration Classic. In contrast, 2021 Olympic all-around gold medalist Suni Lee competed in only two events at nationals, earning 13.35 and 13.65, respectively. Her kidney condition forced her to withdraw from competition earlier this year.

Two Olympic all-around champions, Biles and Lee, will compete in the US Gymnastics Championships for the first occasion ever.

After withdrawing from many events at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, seven-time Olympic medalist Biles made her competitive gymnastics return at the Core Hydration Classic.
