Simone Biles clinches sixth Olympic gold at all-around gymnastics final
PARIS: Simone Biles clinched her sixth Olympic gold medal in front of an ecstatic crowd at the Paris Games on Thursday (Aug 1), reasserting her status as the number one all-around gymnast three years after she withdrew from the same final at the Tokyo Games. In a tight race between Biles and Brazil's Rebeca Andrade, the American was surprisingly left trailing in third place after a flawed performance on the uneven bars. But she was back on top after a solid performance on her next apparatus - the balance beam. As she waited to perform last on the floor, she knew the gold would be hers if she avoided any unexpected slip-ups. She executed an electrifying routine to secure the gold with a total of 59.131 points, just 1.199 points ahead of her Brazilian rival.
