Simone Biles moves closer to 3rd Olympic trip as injuries mount behind her at US trials

Associated Press  

MINNEAPOLIS — Maybe the most remarkable thing about Simone Biles’ decade-plus run redefining what’s possible in gymnastics is how she has managed to stay healthy while doing it. Before Biles hopped on the uneven bars in her first event, Kayla DiCello’s hopes of joining Biles in Paris ended with a torn right Achilles suffered a few feet away on vault. A short time later, Shilese Jones gingerly made her off the floor with a leg injury that left the six-time world championship medalist’s status very much up in the air. While there was an uncharacteristically sloppy and shaky balance beam routine that left Biles cursing for all the cameras to see, there was also a standing ovation that accompanied her Yurchenko Double Pike vault, the one that’s named after her in the sport’s Code of Points and is among the most difficult done in the world by anyone, man or woman. She took a two-year break from competition after returning from Japan but has looked as good as ever for most of the last 12 months, joking after her record ninth national title earlier this month she’s “aging like fine wine.” Biles hardly seems to be the only one.
