- 24-year-old easily beats challenge of Sunisa Lee
- Biles expected to win back-to-back Olympic gold in Tokyo
Simone Biles looks ready for Tokyo. The 24-year-old claimed her seventh US title on Sunday night, delivering another stunning and stunningly easy performance that showed the pressure surrounding her bid to become the first woman to win back-to-back Olympic all-around golds in more than 50 years is only pushing her to even greater heights.
Shaking off a somewhat sloppy start on Friday, at least by her impeccable standards, Biles put on a four-rotation showcase on what separates her from every other gymnast on the planet. Her score of 119.650 was nearly five points better than runner-up Sunisa Lee and good friend and teammate Jordan Chiles.
