The routines were electrifying.
That’s about the only way you could describe the performance of 19-year-old gymnast Simone Biles at this past weekend’s Pacific Rim Championships in Everett, Washington.
Biles finished first. Her balance beam routine has been viewed nearly 3 million times on USA Gymnastics’ Facebook page.

The three-time all-around world champion Biles had taken some time off from competing in order to look toward the 2016 Olympics, and she admitted to USA Today that she felt the time had helped.
“It was good time to have off, especially to focus on the second vault and to focus on getting a new floor routine,” she said. “Nothing was rushed. It was good to have that.”
