Summary
Competing in her first meet since the 2019 world championships – that's 587 days, for those counting – Biles became the first woman ever to compete a Yurchenko double pike vault. Her score of 58.4 was more than a point higher than teammate Jordan Chiles, even with a fall on uneven bars, her final event."She deserves every last bit of the whole thing," Chiles said.Biles is already one of the world's most famous and compelling athletes, a four-time Olympic gold medalist who has no peers in her sport -- now or ever. In fact, Biles got so much power on the vault that she had to take a couple of steps back to control her landing.
