Despite a shaky performance at the U.S. selection event, Simone Biles still finished with the top all-around score and secured her place on the world championships team.
to competitive gymnastics last month, Simone Biles officially clinched a spot on the U.S. world championships team — but by a surprisingly narrow margin for the sport’s biggest star.Biles had mistakes throughout Tuesday evening during the selection event, held in a meet-like setting at the Katy, Tex., gym that hosts the team’s training camps. She only narrowly landed in the top spot ahead of Shilese Jones. Biles’s all-around mark of 55.
Those errors added up. And entering the final rotation, Biles was only in third place — 0.75 behind Kaliya Lincoln and 0.65 behind Jones. Lincoln still had to perform on bars, her weakest event, and she didn't have the difficulty to produce a score that would challenge Jones on bars or Biles on vault. So the race for the automatic world championships berth seemed to be between Bilse and Jones.
