Simone Biles began her season with a new floor routine and a new
second vault. But the result was entirely familiar. Once again, the
world’s best gymnast ran away from the field.
Biles won the all-around at the Pacific Rim Championships on Saturday, helping the United States to a rout for the team title at XFINITY Arena in Everett, Wash., as well.
Biles led a U.S. sweep of the top five spots, scoring a 62.450 to finish 2.55 points ahead of teammate Aly Raisman (59.900) in second. American Laurie Hernandez (59.800) finished third, but because the all-around competition is limited to the top two per country Japan’s Nagi Kajita (55.200) took the bronze medal.
Brenna Dowell and Ragan Smith finished fourth and fifth, respectively, as the American finished with 243.2 points. Canada finished 24.1 points behind the United States with a score of 219.1, and Australia finished third with 217.85.
