… Simone Biles easily won the level 10/open all around title Friday at the Alamo Classic and debuted a yurchenko 2.5 twist in a meet held on concrete!
It’s one thing to compete this vault on podium, but it’s even more difficult to throw it on a solid surface. Biles played it safe with a double on her first vault and even bounced out of it, then she threw the 2.5 with ease. According to the meet director. “it was beautiful – she could’ve done a triple!” …
I can’t find that competition vault online.

Avril Enslow is one of the best and most experienced of the FIG judges. She called the Floor Final tonight perhaps the best she’d seen.
We’ll be arguing about this podium result for some time …
Women’s Floor
1. Vanessa Ferrari 14.400
2. Victoria Moors 14.200
3. Daiane dos Santos 14.066
3. Marine Brevet 14.066
Normally any one of those 4 routines would have won this meet. The big story, I think, is newcomer Victoria from Canada — this routine is beloved by many. She’s the best medal hope Canada has for London. (routine from podium training here)
Victoria is coached by Elvira Saadi.

Tiny Laura is a fan favourite. Her toe point is to die for.
No backward handsprings. Mental block? Or does she need that much run?

At first glance I thought she was Komova come to London. … And she has a lot of Vika’s best qualities. But not the leg power on Floor & Vault.
