Simone Biles earned her sixth Olympic gold medal, and her ninth Olympic medal overall, in Paris on Thursday, clinching a win in the women’s gymnastics all-around final by more than a full point.
The competition began with a commanding lead for Biles, who scored 15.766 for her namesake Yurchenko double pike, the hardest vault in the world. But she dropped behind Rebeca Andrade of Brazil and Kaylia Nemour of Algeria at the halfway point, after both of them hit their uneven bars routines and Biles made a mistake in hers.
