Max Whitlock led throughout the competition to win gold for Britain at the Glasgow World Cup as compatriots Dan Purvis and Claudia Fragapane took bronze at the Emirates Arena. Whitlock, 23, posted a final score of 89.299 points to become champion in the first competition of the year, putting him in a good position for the Olympics this summer.Leading from the first apparatus, the 2012 double Olympic bronze medal winner posted a score of 15.033 on the floor and followed it with a 15.500 on the Pommel horse - enough to establish a lead he retained until the end. Fellow Team GB member Purvis took the bronze with 86.465, narrowly finishing behind Brazils Arthur Mariano (86.598). Purvis posted his biggest score of the day (15.166) on his penultimate apparatus, the parallel bars, but Mariano secured silver with a score of 15.133 on the horizontal bar.Speaking after the event, Whitlock said My target coming in was to do clean routines and Im happy to do that on all six pieces and come out with a good score and a gold medal.Eighteen-year-old Fragapane started well but an unfortunate slip on the uneven bars left her in sixth position after the second of four apparatus. The four-time Commonwealth gold medalist rallied in the final event, achieving the highest score of the day on the floor (14.366) to push her into the bronze medal position. Claudia Fragapane shot to fame after winning four gold medals during the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow Fragapane finished with a total of 55.398, behind USAs Mykayla Skinner (56.999) and Germanys Elisabeth Seitz (55.732).The event, which sees the worlds top eight male and female gymnasts from around the world, is the only round of the FIG World Cup series to be held in the UK.

Nike Shoes Outlet . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf. SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Simone Biles can officially book that plane ticket for Brazil. Same for defending Olympic champion Gabby Douglas.Biles, the three-time world gymnastics champion, secured her spot on the U.S. Olympic team with a near flawless tour of the SAP Center on Sunday night, earning an automatic berth on the five-woman team by strolling to the all-around title at the Olympic Trials.Biles will be joined in Rio de Janeiro by Douglas, three-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez. MyKayla Skinner, Ragan Smith and Ashton Locklear are the alternates.While Biles has been a lock for months, the path to the Olympics was far murkier for Douglas. A revelation in London four years ago, the 20-year-old has struggled with her form in recent weeks and fell off balance beam for a second straight night while finishing seventh behind Biles.But she finished third on uneven bars behind Kocian and Locklear, and national team coordinator Martha Karolyi has long believed in Douglas ability to turn it up when the pressure is on.Biles, who hasnt lost in more than three years, posted a two-day total of 123.250. The trials put an end to three-plus years of anticipation for the electrifying 19-year-old, who has rapidly developed from bouncy prodigy to arguably the greatest gymnast of all-time.The only thing missing on a resume that includes 14 world championship medals and four national titles is Olympic gold. She will head to Rio as the heavy favorite to become the fourth straight American to stand atop the podium at the end of the all-around finals on Aug. 11, the brightest star on a squad that is very much the gymnastics equivalent of the Michael Jordan-led Dream Team that overwhelmed the 1992 Games.Yet the moment Biles has spent her entire career training foor didnt quite go as planned.dddddddddddd. Sure, she was spectacular at times -- particularly on vault where her score of 16.2 included a 9.9 mark for execution. She also stepped out of bounds during her floor exercise and hopped off the beam following a rare mistake.While her lead was never in danger -- and really, it hasnt been since the summer of 2013 -- theres little doubt the missteps will linger with Biles as she prepares for Brazil.The Americans havent lost a major international competition in six years, the gap between themselves and the rest of the world hardening along the way. Anything less than sending Karolyi into retirement with gold would be a Miracle On Ice-level upset.The only real drama heading into the final night of trials centered on who would join Biles. The precocious 16-year-old Hernandez -- who admits shes too naive to know any better -- continued her rapid ascension to perhaps the best threat to Biles long run at the top. Her best event is the balance beam, a 45-second test of nerves that she treats like a workout on the beach. Her score of 15.7 is gold-medal worthy if she can repeat it in Rio.Raismans spot ended a remarkable resurgence in recent months. She had a forgettable performance at the world championships last fall -- failing to make an individual event final -- and seemed to be in the middle of the pack as recently as March.Not anymore. The 22-year-old -- the oldest member of the team -- stormed her way through two run-up events to trials and kept it going on Sunday night.Kocian, a world champion on uneven bars, rode the strength of a 15.9 on Sunday night to give herself just enough breathing room over Locklear.
