Simone Biles pushed through calf pain during the qualification round in Paris, helping lead the U.S. team to the top of the leaderboard after subdivision two.
The U.S. women’s gymnastics team had some precarious moments in Sunday’s qualifying round, but they will enter the team final as the overwhelming favorites for gold. Simone Biles topped the all-around standings after the second of five subdivisions, flanked by Suni Lee, and is well-positioned to qualify for the floor, vault and beam apparatus finals. Biles’ Paris prospects were suddenly in peril after she appeared to suffer a rough landing during floor warmups.
433 average on vault with a Cheng and a double-twisting Yurchenko, which she is capable of upgrading to an Amanar , in the final. Biles, who nailed her eponymous Yurchenko double pike, or “Biles II” vault, is expected to join Carey in pursuit of an Olympic vault medal. “I think they rallied together,” Chellsie Memmel, the squad’s technical lead coach, said of Team USA’s resilience.
