Reigning world champion Morgan Hurd manages to be impressed by Simone Biles without being intimidated by the gap between the Olympic gold medalist and the rest of the women at the US gymnastics championships.
Posting perhaps her best day in competition with a score that was better than her winning performance at worlds in Montreal last year Hurd finished the first rotation last night in second place, a healthy 3.100 behind Biles but comfortably ahead of the rest of the pack.
With Biles returning after a two-year hiatus, the other American women know that second is probably the best they can do.
"I'm just happy with how solid I was today," Hurd said.
"I went out there and I did the absolute best I can do."
"She's the greatest of all time. Such a legend. She's very hard to catch," Hurd said."
