SAN JOSE — Every other gymnast in the SAP Center stopped talking, stopped moving and looked towards the great one.
As Biles’ name was announced at the vault, thousands of screaming fans at the SAP Center pointed their phones her way. She smiled and got into position. Then she turned on the engine and started to roar, her legs churning and arms pumping as her 4-foot-8 frame zipped up the mat, then leaped onto the fault and flipped into the air.
Still, with her 6.4 difficulty score, the highest of anyone in the competition, she tallied a remarkable 15.700 on the vault, nearly a point-and-a-half better than anybody else. She has, indeed. And on Sunday, the 26-year-old will be looking for a record-setting eighth national championship despite being the oldest woman competing.
