Four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles registered a couple
of stumbles and penalties in her initial performance Monday at
Ariake Gymnastics Center in Tokyo, allowing the team
representing the Russian Olympic Committee to grab a one-point
lead in the women’s team competition entering Tuesday’s finals.

The 24-year-old Biles, the reigning all-around champion, still
leads the overall standings. But she committed uncharacteristic
errors during the vault and floor exercise qualifying rotations
as the heavily favored U.S. squad failed to post the top
cumulative score in qualifying for the first time since 2010 at
either the World Championships or the Summer Games.

Biles landed outside the floor boundaries on one tumbling pass
during her floor routine, and she also stepped outside the lines
on her first vault. She still ranks first in the all-around
standings, with fellow American Sunisa Lee in second and
Melnikova in third.
