Whose spot? Do you happen to know who would have gone if Biles hadn't?

It's just a hunch but I'm pretty sure it would have made no sense to send that person instead, but I could be wrong.[/quote]

Probably Jade Carey.  She's taking the spot Biles gave up in the AA competition, which she qualified for but was the third ranked American and they only permit two per country.   She's a vault and floor specialist.  Having her in the team final may very well may have gotten the US team the gold, as those were two weaker events for the US without Biles.[/quote]

She did not take Jades team spot.  Jade earned a spot as an individual competitor, and elected to use that spot instead of being considered for a team spot. Performance suggest Le that jade would have been stronger on the team than Grace McCallum, arguably better than Jordan chiles overall, but she opted out of team consideration. This was made clear at the trials. [/quote]
