Simone Biles

Simone Biles launched her 2024 season with an impressive victory at USA Gymnastics' Core Hydration Classic on Saturday, lifting the all-around title with a total of 59.5 points. It was Biles's best all-around total since she returned to competition last year for the first time since her abbreviated Tokyo Olympics campaign.

"I was just happy to be back out there, get through those nerves again, feel that adrenaline," said the four-time Olympic gold medallist, who has five moves named after her. Biles finished 1.85 points in front of two-time world all-around medallist Shilese Jones.
