Simone Biles briefly left the floor with what she said was discomfort in her left leg but continued her quest to return atop the Olympic podium Sunday, posting an all-around score that was more than three points ahead of U.S. teammate Suni Lee through two subdivisions of qualifying.

Biles, 27, dazzled during her opening beam routine then briefly left the floor with USA team doctor Marcia Faustin. Biles returned a short time later and spent several minutes sitting and watching her teammates.
