Simone Biles Wins Sixth US Gymnastics Title by Associated Press, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 08.15.19 Word Count 778 Level 960L
Taking it to the mat: Simone Biles wins sixth US gymnastics title By Associated Press, adapted by Newsela staff on 08.15.19 Word Count 778 Level 960L Image 1. Simone Biles celebrates after competing in the uneven bars to win the all around senior women's competition at the 2019 U.S. Gymnastics Championships Sunday, August 11, 2019, in Kansas City, Missouri. Photo by: Charlie Riedel/AP Photo KANSAS CITY, Missouri — The choice was entirely hers. Yet gymnast Simone Biles knew what she had to do. Sure, she could have taken her triple-twisting double-flip (also called "the triple-double") out of her floor exercise routine the final night of the U.S. women's gymnastics championships on Sunday, August 11. She didn't need the triple-double to win another national title. Still, her coach, Laurent Landi, left the choice to Biles. After the Olympic champion's bid to become the first woman to complete the triple-double in competition came up a bit short on Friday night, he probably knew her choice. Landi has spent enough time in the gym around the 22-year-old to know Biles is reshaping what's possible in her sport. It quickly becomes evident that sidestepping a challenge isn't really Biles' thing. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. The First Pass So she threw it in at the end of her first tumbling pass, fueled by ambition and unbelievable skill. When the dizzying combination ended with her feet firmly on the floor — if barely in bounds — a jolt shook through the packed arena.

While the Defense Department has invested heavily and made strides in treating chronic pain, expanding efforts to track how service members are doing after they receive care would be a step forward, Rand said. “Accurately measuring the quality of pain treatment is an es- sential step toward improving care,” it said.

Interview with USAG Board Chair, Kathryn Carson
Interview with USAG Board Chair, Kathryn Carson World Cup is lucky to have USAG Board Chair, Kathryn Carson, as a neighbor. She recently moved from Chappaqua to Armonk and stops by to observe our programs, talk to our athletes, share with us news about the top gymnasts from around the world, and educate us regarding the important changes that have taken place at USAG. We recently checked in with Ms. Carson in between her travels. WCG: You were at the Gymnastics World Championships in Germany. What was it like to witness Simone land the triple-double on floor as well as the double-double on the balance beam. KC: I was thrilled to attend my first Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. It was a great opportunity to see the most talented gymnasts from all over the world give it their all, and to see the global community there to cheer them on. Many Americans made the trip, and our tremendous athletes performed at their best! It was awe inspiring to see Simone perform her triple double on floor and double double on beam, and she made Team USA proud with her 5 gold medals. Jade Carey and Sunisa Lee also medaled, and Sam Mikulak of the men’s team took 5th on uneven bars and the Longine’s award for elegance in his athletic performances. WCG: Simone has certainly increased the excitement level of women’s gymnastics, how else has she changed the sport? KC: Simone continues to achieve many “firsts” for gymnastics here and around the world.
