The women of the United States entered the Olympic Arena poised for a stellar evening and really their toughest competition was themselves.
At the vault, Simone Biles nailed it for a score of 16.1.
Gabby Douglas was rock solid on the uneven bars. Even with a stumble on balance beam, Aly Raisman managed to advance to the all-around.
It was Biles' stellar performance on the beam that sealed a dominant night for the American women.
They took the lead over China by 10 points.
Biles stands comfortably in the top spot heading into the all-around.
Douglas ended up in third, but only the top two move on.
