JORDAN CHILES

Gymnastics star Simone Biles is ready for a bit of a break after wrapping up a post-Olympic tour.

American gymnast Simone Biles says she wouldn't change anything about her second Olympic experience.

American gymnast Jade Carey's long road to the Olympics ended with gold.

Chiles had been slated to compete in just two events in the team final: vault and floor. But with Biles out of the competition, she was suddenly competing on the balance beam and uneven bars too.

Simone Biles looks ready for the Tokyo Olympics.

Simone Biles toned it down. Shaking off a somewhat sloppy start Friday, at least by her impeccable standards, Biles put on a four-rotation showcase that highlighted why a GOAT emblem — a nod to her status as the Greatest Of All Time — has become a fixture on her competition leotard. Biles' all-around score on Sunday of 60.100 was her highest since 2018 and served notice she is only getting better with the Tokyo Games less than seven weeks away.

American gymnast Jordan Chiles heads to the U.S. Championships hoping to move closer to earning an Olympic spot.

Yet rather than greet them with anxiety or fear as she did the last time she stood on the competition floor, Laurie Hernandez embraced them. Yet all of it faded into the background on Saturday at the Winter Cup in Indianapolis. “They handled themselves really really well,” national team coordinator Tom Forster said. And I think if anybody, of course, like Riley, Riley gets it. And so we’ve been able to connect in that way and, you know, in so many different levels.
