American star gymnast, Simone Biles Owens, has won her first competition, two years after a difficult run at the Tokyo Olympics.
The Olympian made her return on Saturday night at the U.S Classics and thrilled the crowd with her winning performance.
She participated on the uneven bars in which she scored 14.0, her lowest in the game. She also landed 14.8 and 14.9 points for her beam and floor exercises routines respectively. Her vault routine earned her 15.4 points and 59.1 points in total for the competition. Biles placed first at the competition which was held in Chicago.
