Biles became the fourth straight American woman to win the all-around title and fifth overall while cementing her reputation as the greatest gymnast of her generation and perhaps ever.

From the looks of this video that Layla’s mom posted on Twitter on Friday morning, she’s well on her way to greatness. I don’t use it to pray before a competition. “But I just used it for motivation every single day in the gym”. You never know that feeling until it hits you. Anything less than heading back to her family’s home in Spring, Texas, with a fistful of golds would be seen as a disappointment.
Simone Biles confirmed that she is the best gymnast in the world today.
Simone was born in Columbus, Ohio, on March 14, 1997.
Diego Hypolito and Arthur Mariano of Brazil thrilled the home fans by taking home silver and bronze.
Raisman said she couldn’t help get overwhelmed by emotion after finishing, particularly after hearing cheers from the crowd. “Except for Simone Biles’s floor routine”. Besides a sister, she has two brothers, Ronald and Adam.
Too young to qualify for the 2012 Olympics in London, the 19-year-old has since been showing the world exactly what she’s made of in Rio.
Nevertheless, Simone Biles has finally become a household name. “One vault was one vault and the next vault was the next vault and she was going to perform it the best she could”. “I just feel like I did my job tonight”.
While Douglas hasn’t yet spoken out about her seemingly salty stare down during last night’s event, this isn’t the first controversy she’s faced – and it may not be the last. “Her, no. She makes her mind up and that’s it”. Her score was the highest of the group: 16.033.
Although the Biles victory in the individual all-around competition was largely expected, it was stunning all the same when she won gold by the largest margin of victory since the Olympic gymnastics’ officials switched to the current scoring system in 2006.

The vault event was totally Simone Biles’ to lose, as the 19-year-old went into the competition with a almost flawless score in the qualifiers of 16.050. Whitlock previously won bronze in the individual all-around, the country’s first gymnastics medal of any kind in 108 years.
