“I know it means the world to her. she was just so excited at the end. she started crying, it was so cute”, three-times world all-around champion Biles told reporters as she flashed a megawatt smile. The United States dominated the competition, leading by nearly ten points. “Simone is doing gymnastics because she wants to prove to the world how good she is”.

“We just thought the name was flawless because it is Marta’s previous year and we are the “final five” for her and it is awesome to end it off with her like this”. Hernandez, Raisman and Biles all scored over 15 points on balance beam, looking a little less steady than usual but keeping in control. There’s a reason why she’s three-time world champion.

The U.S. led wire to wire in defending their women’s gymnastics team gold medal at the Rio Olympics on Tuesday.
Svitolina, who is ranked 20th in the world, stunned the London Games gold medallist 6-4 6-3 to record a memorable victory against the American, who has won 22 grand slam singles titles.

The complete women’s gymnastics schedule can be found here. “Every competition can be watched by every person in America in real time as it happens”. The Russian team also has a couple of stars in Seda Tutkhalyan and Maria Paseka ready to compete, and it should make for an intriguing meet for them. When this team competes, it competes against itself and strives for perfection. She topped second-overall teammate Aly Raisman by a significant margin (62.366 points to 60.607), and Gabby Douglas would have been the third USA woman in the field if not for the Olympics’ two-per-country rule. The Chinese team will feature bars master Fan Yillin, Shang Chunsong who will have strong beam and floor routines, as well as Wang Yan who had a decent qualifying. It could be said that had Ellie not gotten injured the Britains would have qualified much higher as Ellie had to take a reduced score on floor.
“She just wows us”, Claudia Frangapane of Britain said.
But on Tuesday afternoon, the focus is squarely on the team final.
