Simone Biles takes fourth straight all-around national title
Simone Biles outclassed the field again, winning her fourth consecutive national all-around title by nearly four points at the P&G Gymnastics Championships in St. Louis.
The last time a woman took four straight national all-around U.S titles was Joan Moore Gnat (1971-74). The top contenders will gather again in San Jose on July 8-10 for the final test for Rio de Janeiro, the U.S. Olympic trials.
Biles had a combined two-day score of 125.000 points. Finishing second was 2012 Olympian Aly Raisman with 121.100. Laurie Hernandez, who turned 16 earlier this month, was third at 120.500 and Gabby Douglas, the all-around gold medalist at the Olympics in 2012, was fourth with 117.800.
