KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Simone Biles stuck one final landing, this one on the uneven bars, and sealed the all-around championship that had been hers to lose all weekend. Then ran off the mat with her tongue out and her head bobbing back and forth. There was a huge smile on her face.
“I was a lot happier today,” Biles said after winning her record-tying sixth United States Gymnastics national championship Sunday night. “I feel I haven’t been as confident on bars this year as I was last year. To finally do a good routine like I can do it, I was really happy.
