Simone Biles won the women's competition, despite a fall on her overrotated Yurchenko double pike.  She also won every event, including UB.   Her 119.75 combined total was 5.9 points ahead of Florida signee Skye Blakely, in second.  Blakely stayed strong and consistent on Day 2, improving on FX but coming in a bit short on her new Cheng vault.  Gator Kayla DiCello was 3.05 points back in 3rd (110.8), narrowly holding off Sunisa Lee (110.65), UCLA's Jordan Chiles (110.4) and new senior Hezly Rivera (110.35).  Lee had problems on VT but improved on UB and BB, her critical events.  Chiles was one of a few that improved on their Day 1 scores, despite a problem on BB. 

The picture has become very unclear on the women's side, with Shilese Jones sitting out the Championships and several gymnasts counting misses.  Blakely's new Cheng vault was literally what the selection committee ordered (to all the gymnasts), and her relatively consistent performance across two days bodes well for her.  Suni Lee also did what she had to, showing a potential to add scores in the mid to high 14s on UB and BB.  A lot will depend on the trials, and the ability of Jones to recover from her bicep injury in time.
