Despite a shaky beam routine, Simone Biles leads at a U.S. women's gymnastics trials marred by injuries to Shilese Jones and Kayla DiCello.
Simone Biles wobbled, stepped and shook her way through her beam routine, and when she mercifully dismounted, she rolled her eyes. A camera zoomed in on her face projected Biles on the big screen at Target Center appearing to mutter a four-letter word that left the sold-out crowd laughing. “Relatable,” a woman in the crowd said. Biles restored order and took a comfortable first-place lead after the first day of competition at the U.S.
Then on the first routine of the meet, Kayla DiCello, who was an alternate for the Tokyo Olympic team, injured her right ankle. Coaches carried her off the mat and placed her in a wheelchair as she was forced to withdraw. Already battling a shoulder injury that kept her out of U.S. championships, Jones tried to gut through the event. She scored a 14.675 on bars, but grimaced after she landed her dismount and gingerly walked off the podium with a noticeable limp.
