Yesterday, Simone Biles suffered a lot and was taken to the emergency room. American gymnastics officials thought she was perhaps suffering from appendicitis and was starting to think about how to approach the team event without the superstar on the list. It has turned out to be a kidney stone. Very painful, of course, but at least, Biles did not need emergency surgery.
Twenty-four hours later, Biles was back under the leotard at the Aspire Academy in Doha, ready to compete. Due to anti-doping rules, Biles could not accept the "difficult things. To go through four trials today, it was enough for him to bear the pain.
Throughout her journey, she had some failures – a couple of hands on bars she managed to master, a flicker on two beams – Biles, with her acolyte nicknamed the "pearl of Doha", dominated the scene. competition. She recorded one of the highest total points in the year total with a score of 60.965 and she successfully completed the vault that she debuted at the selection competition. by world teams two weeks ago. Now that she has landed at the world championships, she will be officially known as "Biles".
Biles' boyfriend, former US national team member Stacey Ervin, drew attention to his partner's exploits on Twitter.
The rest of the American team was also brilliant in qualifying. Morgan Hurd, the reigning world champion in the all around, was second in the US – and in the overall standings so far, with about half of the field available for tomorrow's competition – with a score above she had won to win the world title last year. Beam Specialist Kara Eaker recorded the second highest score of this event (behind Biles, of course). Eaker's score is more than enough to allow him to be in the finals of the apparatus.
The total of the US team of 174,429 was higher than twelve points ahead of Japan, which currently occupies second place. While this margin may decrease when Russia and China compete, the total US points are insurmountable, even for these two flagship programs. The top eight teams start from scratch in the team final. This impressive advance will not be postponed.
Biles is well positioned to win places in all four finals, with about half of the remaining peloton competing. She currently has the best score on vault, beam and floor, and is second behind Belgian Nina Derwael on uneven bars. The eight best gymnasts of each apparatus (two maximum per country) qualify for the finals.
