The four-time Olympic gold medalist takes another step in her comeback with a dominant performance on the first night of competition at the U.S. championships.
Biles wasn’t finished after the double pike, either. To be eligible for a vault title, gymnasts must exhibit two vaults, and Landi that the plan was for Biles to compete a second vault at some point. That point turned out to be Friday, when Biles returned to the end of the runway after exchanging high fives with Landi and performed a second vault, known as a Cheng.“It was not the priority, but she did it actually when we came here on Tuesday,” Landi said. “It wasn’t that bad.
Biles took several steps on the landing of the Cheng, but the smile on her face made clear how she felt about her performance. To conclude the first day of competition, Biles turned in a seamless bars routine, sticking the dismount to the delight of the crowd and scoring a 14.350 — well on her way to her eighth national all-around title.
