Russians top Biles, Americans in gymnastics qualifying. MORE:
The country she represents? Maybe not so much anymore.
While Biles leads the all-around with a total of 57.731, it didn't come easy. She stepped all the way off the mat following a tumbling pass on her floor exercise, then basically did the same on vault. She responded with a solid set on uneven bars, but a spectacular beam routine ended with her taking three major steps backward following her dismount.
For the first time in a long time, when the numbers were added up, the Americans found themselves looking up in the standings at someone else.
