Simone Biles started her gymnastics competition in Paris today.
The stands were buzzing and filled with celebrities. Tom Cruise posed for selfies while waiting for Biles to emerge. Snoop Dogg had front-row seats, and Ariana Grande, Jessica Chastain, John Legend and Anna Wintour were also on handU.S. gymnastics coach Cecile Landi said the issue popped up a couple of weeks ago and described it as minor. Landi said there was no discussion of pulling Biles' from the event.“I can’t express it,” she said.
The only adjustment she made was deciding to skip attempting a unique skill on uneven bars she submitted to the International Gymnastics Federation on Friday. Instead, she did her usual set to score a 14.333. She tried to keep from putting too much weight on her leg following her dismount. The Americans scored a 172.296, well clear of the field after two subdivisions as they search for what they're calling “redemption” after finishing runner-up to Russia three years ago.The question now: Will Biles' leg be an ongoing issue? The team final is Tuesday, and the women’s all-around final is Thursday.
