HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. — In gymnastics, there is always someone pushing the sport forward. Someone has to try new, more difficult routines to challenge the rest of the field. Right now, it’s two-time world champion Simone Biles.
At the Secret Classic in suburban Chicago on Saturday, Biles won the all-around competition with an overall score of 62.400. She also took gold medals in the vault, floor and beam.
Her neck was covered in medals by the end of the meet not only because she innovates, but also because her routines are flawless. Innovating is not just about medals, though.
