“Today it’s just getting out here, getting comfortable and confident in my gymnastics, and hopefully going to Olympic trials and making that next step towards Paris,” Biles told broadcaster NBC after piling up 59.300 points on the second night of competition to take her total to 119.750.

She was almost six points clear of runner-up Skye Blakely, who totalled 113.850 with Kayla DiCello taking bronze with 110.800. The top two finishers were assured of berths at the Olympic trials 27-30 June in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where at least a dozen athletes are expected to make their final case for a trip to Paris. Biles had cracked 60 points on the first night of competition on Friday, and while she couldn’t match that, she earned gold on all four apparatus.was in evidence in her few errors. She stepped out of bounds after her triple-twisting double somersault in floor exercise and skittered backwards onto her back on the landing of her Yurchenko double pike vault.
