Simone Biles clinched her sixth Olympic gold medal as she reasserted her status as the No.1 all around gymnast.
Reiterating her statues as the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) - and 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 back on top after a solid performance on her next apparatus - the balance beam. After waiting to perform last on the floor, she knew the gold would be hers, as she took her performance to another level as she executed an electrifying routine to secure the gold with a total of 59.131 points.
Andrade earned a second successive silver in the competition where each gymnasts needs to show off their skills on all four women's apparatus, whilst Biles' teammate Sunisa Lee, the Tokyo all-around champion, claim the bronze with 56.465 points. Claiming her second gold medal of the Paris Games, and her second all-around Olympic title after also winning the individual event in Rio in 2016, this was also her second gold in the French capital, after she also claimed the team gold earlier this week.
Biles, who wears a diamond ‘goat’ pendant around her neck, as the most decorated gymnast of all-time, withdrew from the event in Tokyo to prioritise her mental health after suffering from the "twisties", a condition involving the temporary loss of spatial awareness that some gymnasts can experience when executing high-difficulty elements.
She wasn't flawless in her routine, but, nevertheless, Simone Biles once again proved to be untouchable!
