Simone Biles and US gymnastics team reclaim Olympic gold | BBC News

Simone Biles inspired the United States to victory in the women's team gymnastics event as the first leg of a "redemption tour" began with a fifth Olympic gold.

For the world's most decorated gymnast, it is the first Olympic gold since Rio 2016 after she pulled out of several events in Tokyo three years ago with the 'twisties' - a disorientating mental block.

Simone Biles now has eight Olympic medals, including five gold, surpassing the legendary Shannon Miller to become the most decorated US Olympic gymnast in history.

Biles, along with Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera, are the fourth American team to win an Olympic gold medal.

They win gold only cause Russian athlete's wasn't there...

[KidSaturdays]

The level of disrespect shown to the other gymnasts by the BBC commentary, didnt call her two huge errors stepping outside the square on the floor as well as saying "there will be many more to follow" after picking their jaws up after her pretty mediocre routine. Typical BBC sycophantic sensationalism.

Well done to the USA gymnastics team. I followed the women's gymnastics closely, but became a little sleepy, with a vague feeling of regret.

[melgrant]

Why keep saying simone and the team when its the whole team that is the point.

[hannahrogers]

If the Gadirova twins had been competing we would have won gold

[deidradahl]

Simone, quit while you are ahead. Move on to the other faze of your life, you are getting older and will eventually fail. Well done, now leave it to the younger ones behind you, nothing lasts forever.
