Gymnastics: Biles becomes most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast
The U.S. women’s gymnastics team is back on top of the Olympic podium after winning gold in the team final on Tuesday.
Simone Biles now has eight Olympic medals, including five gold, surpassing Shannon Miller to become the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast in history.
Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera became the fourth American team to win an Olympic gold medal.
The U.S. rolled through the team final, nailing nearly all their routines. Even with a stumble by Chiles during the third rotation on beam, they still began the final rotation with a lead of over 3.5 points. A trio of great floor routines cemented the gold, which they won by 5.802 points. Team USA had the highest score in all four apparatus.
Italy won silver to earn its first Olympic medal in 96 years. Brazil took home the bronze — its first Olympic team medal in history.
