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.

Brody Malone capped off his comeback from a devastating knee injury to win his third US title.  The former Stanford star and NCAA champ lead the rest of the field by over 2 points.  In 2nd was Michigan star and 2023 NCAA AA/PB/HB Champ and 2023 World AA Bronze medalist Fred Richard of Michigan.  In third, 0.7 behind, was 2024 NCAA Champ and Stanford star Khoi Young.  Young won a silver on PH and VT at the 2023 World's.  Rising to 4th with an excellent day was former OU star, NCAA Champ and Olympian Yul Modauer.  He won the PB with the highest mark of the day.  Malone was first on HB while Richard was 1st on FX.    Former World Champion Stephen Nedoroscik, ex-PSU, won the PH.  Another specialist, Alex Diab, a former Buckeye star, won R.   In fifth AA for the day, with the same mark as Moldauer, was former Gopher standout and Olympian Shane Wiskus.  However, his marks, when compared to the Top Four finishers, don't add to a potential team total. 

The US men finished with a Bronze medal at last year's World Championships.  With the addition of Malone and the improvements of the others, the US will look to put pressure on the Chinese and Japanese teams.  The Olympic Trials will be critical in selecting the team.  If the top 4 remain healthy and consistent, then just one spot remains.  Based on this week's results, the Top four leave lineup gaps on PH, Rings, and High Bar. These three events were also the events where the US lagged the leaders at the last World Championships.  Currently, the gymnast who adds the most to the top four is specialist Nedoroscik, but he competes only on PH.  Not far away from that max potential but adding depth on more events is Paul Juda of Michigan, who finished 5th AA.  If he can consistently hit FX, PH, VT and HB at the Trials, he will have a strong argument.  R is another weak event but the gymnasts with the highest scores there don't quite add as many points overall, due to improvements made by the Top 4.  Donnell Whittenburg, who as 7th AA is also in the mix, as is Asher Hong of Stanford, who finished 10th AA and has struggled this season.  Whittenburg could also disrupt the Top 4 with a strong performance at Trials, and Juda is said to be holding back upgrades.
