STUTTGART, Germany -- Simone Biles topped the all-around standings by more than two points, got two new skills named after her and made the finals in all four events.

Ho-hum.

“Overall, I don’t know. I still feel like I could do better,” Biles said Saturday night when asked to assess her first day of competition at the world gymnastics championships. “But my goal going into tonight was not to do great, it was just to do well. I feel like I accomplished that.”

If you’re a gymnastics fan, savor this time.
