The most anticipated comeback<\/a> ever for a U.S. Gymnast is now complete. On Saturday July 28th in Columbus, Simone Biles wins the<\/a> all-around, floor, and beam titles at the 2018 GK U.S. Classic. \u00a0Riley McCusker and the 2017 World Champion Morgan Hurd finished up second and third all-around at this past weekend\u2019s competition. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI figured out for me, it’s to comeback and have fun and really enjoy the sport. \u00a0Not to set to many expectations for myself because I met a lot of those in the last quad.\u201d \u00a0Said Simone Biles after winning the All-Around title.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bottomline, Simone looked good. \u00a0Far from perfect, she had a fall on bars but on the other events she posted the highest scores of the night with a 14.750 (Floor), 15.200 (Beam), 15.400 (Vault), and 58.700 (All-Around). <\/span><\/p>\n

“There’s still a lot to work on — work on the nerves, work on the consistency, work on the landings — but for this point, at this time in the year, I think we’re in a pretty good place,” Biles said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biles revealed a new vault called the Cheng. \u00a0It is a round-off, half-on, with a front one and half twist off the vault table. \u00a0Biles made it look effortless. She also competed for the first a double twisting double layout on floor. \u00a0It was so huge many feel that Simone could add an extra twist if she wanted. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the end, Simone Biles did enough to win the all-around by 1.2 points. \u00a0Even with a off day she is still the best in the country and will be looking to be even better at next months U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s great to see that she still has it inside of her,” said Laurent Landi, who is Biles’ co-coach along with his wife, Cecile. “Now she needs to build on this and to take all the positives out of it.”<\/span><\/p>\n
