Simone Biles continued her dominant display of excellence at the 2016 Rio Olympics with a gold medal in the vault finals. Biles took first place (15.966) followed by Russia's Maria Paseka (15.253) and Switzerland's Giulia Steingruber (15.216).

Biles is a multiple world champion on the beam and the floor yet this is the first title in vault for the gymnast, who also placed first in the individual all-round and helped the U.S. to victory in the team all-around.
