Her score of 119.650 was nearly five points better than runner-up Sunisa Lee and good friend and teammate Jordan Chiles. While Biles’ victory was never in doubt – it rarely has been during her nearly eight-year reign atop the sport – she remains in no mood to coast. Visibly annoyed after stepping out of bounds three times during her floor routine on Friday, Biles responded the way she almost always does: by cleaning things up and expanding what is possible on the competition floor. Biles started her night on balance beam and with the instrumental from Lizzo’s Good as Hell playing while the entire arena stopped to watch. Chiles continued her remarkable rise over the last six months, finishing runner-up to Biles for the second time in three weeks.
