    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.
