Simone Biles — page 2 — Simone Biles performs on the balance beam in the all around finals at the 2016 Olympics OLYMPIC GOLD US gymnast Simone Biles had work to do The individual all around competition at the 2016 Olympic Games was half over and Biles trailed Russia's Aliya Mustafina Then Biles wobbled on the balance beam It was a situation nobody expected for Biles She was the three time defending world champion Many assumed she would cruise to a gold medal But then Mustafina struggled even more on beam Biles took over first place Only the floor exercise remained

Simone Biles — page 3 — Biles was nearly flawless on the floor The 19 year old opened with a full twisting double layout It was the beginning of a series of dizzying flips and spins Each tumbling pass was more impressive than the one that came before it Ninety seconds later there was no doubt Biles was the winner The tears came as she realized that she had achieved her dream Every emotion hit me at once so I was just kind of a train wreck she said But Biles had no time to rest More Olympic gold would soon follow Biles left and US teammate Aly Raisman celebrate after Biles won gold and Raisman won silver in the Olympic all around final
