Ragan Smith, after watching in Rio, leads P&G Championships
Simone Biles says she’s back in the gym (video)Ragan Smith could do nothing more than watch in Rio as the Final Five dominated. The roles reversed at the P&G Championships on Friday night.
Smith, a Rio Olympic alternate, easily topped the all-around standings on the first of two nights of competition that will determine national champions.
Oh, and Simone Biles and Laurie Hernandez were among those in the Honda Center crowd in Anaheim.
It’s the beginning of a new era for U.S. women’s gymnastics. None of the Rio Olympians are competing this weekend, but all five could come back for a Tokyo 2020 run.
For now, the spotlight is on Smith.
