Who joined Simone Biles as a replacement gymnast at the 2013 American Cup?

Katelyn Ohashi joined Simone Biles as a replacement gymnast at the 2013 American Cup.

The meet marked Biles’s senior international debut in March 2013. Both teenagers entered after Elizabeth Price and 2012 Olympic champion Kyla Ross withdrew with injuries. Ohashi and Biles therefore formed an unusual replacement pairing rather than replacing only one athlete.

Ohashi won the all-around, while Biles finished second after leading through two rotations and falling from the balance beam. The result was an early sign of the rivalry and friendship between two highly regarded American gymnasts. Ohashi’s victory was also her first senior event win.

A common mix-up is to name Price or Ross, because they were the gymnasts originally expected to compete. Aly Raisman and Kyla Ross were established Olympic-era stars, but the question asks who joined Biles among the replacements, making Ohashi the single best answer.
