All three Russians who vaulted scored higher, as did her USA teammates.
Simone Biles is the most successful US gymnast of all time and winner of four gold medals and a bronze at Rio 2016.
There were no obvious signs of injury following Biles’ vault, in which she failed to stick her landing, but she returned from the treatment room appearing to flex her ankle, reports BBC Sport’s John Watson in Tokyo.
