Simone Biles is back.
The Olympian returned to competition after a 711-day hiatus at the U.S. Classic and won after scoring a 15.2 on the balance beam.

Biles was trailing Riley McCusker by four-tenths of a point going into the event and was unhappy with herself after a shaky performance on the uneven bars.
"I guess in that moment, I enjoyed being [ticked] off, yeah," Biles said, via the Associated Press.
The 15.2 beam score propelled Biles to an all-around score of 58.700, which was enough to surpass McCusker and beat reigning world champion Morgan Hurd by more than two points.
