2024 US Olympic Gymnastics Trials Day 2 Simone Biles leads
Seven-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles leads the all-around standings after the first night of competition at the Olympic Trials, which also saw injuries to top contenders.

The first day of competition for the women at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team Trials didn't come without its twists and turns, but some of the nation’s top gymnasts are officially halfway to realizing a lifelong dream. 

As anticipated, seven-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles leads the all-around standings after the first night of competition. It wasn’t Biles' best performance, but she remains well ahead of the rest of the field with a score of 58.900. 

Tokyo Olympian Jordan Chiles got off to a strong at Trials, finishing the day second all-around with a 56.400.

Tokyo Olympic all-around champion Suni Lee finished third in just her third all-around competition at the elite level since her battle with kidney disease began a year ago (56.025). 

Tokyo Olympic floor champion Jade Carey had one of the best all-around meets of her career for a 55.825, which currently places her fourth all-around.  

Several of the top contenders went down with injuries prior to the competition. World all-around bronze medalist Shilese Jones took a fall on vault in the warm-ups and appeared to hurt her knee. She sat out the vault rotation before competing on uneven bars, then scratched from the remainder of the night's competition. Tokyo Olympic alternate Kayla DiCello withdrew from the competition after tearing her Achilles on vault at the start of the competition. Two-time world team champion Skye Blakely also sustained a torn Achilles in training a few days before the competition. 

See below for rotation-by-rotation results and highlights.
