Simon Biles soared to victory in the U.S. Classic on Saturday night in her return following a two-year layoff after the Tokyo Olympics.
" that forced her to take herself out of multiple events in Japan seemingly firmly in her rearview mirror.
She began on uneven bars, not far from a sign featuring a goat that read"Simone Freaking Biles." She wasn't perfect, nearly stalling near the end of her routine. She muscled up and stayed on and when she hit her dismount, she cut her eyes off to the side as if to say"sheesh." Still, the lure of the gym tugged at her, though she took a more muted approach to her comeback than in 2018 or in the run-up to Tokyo in 2021.She was dynamic on floor exercise, where her tumbling passes have long been showstoppers. While she and coaches Laurent and Cecile Landi have tweaked her routines a bit to better take advantage of the sport's updated Code of Points, she still does some of the most challenging gymnastics in the sport typically with seemingly effortless ease.
