“It was good, I feel very excited because having gone to worlds and having two silvers and a bronze it means a lot to me …” Her lovely smile and powerful gymnastic routines lead her through this year’s Olympic Games giving people around the world something to be proud of.
Douglas said her teammates “did an unbelievable job”.
“Biles owned the vault”. Paseka put up a 15.266 on her Cheng compared to Biles’ 16.033. “I told her before today, I want you to win and I want second”. On Sunday, Biles and her teammates will compete for more medals in the individual apparatus events.
Simone Biles struck gold once again at the Rio Olympics, overcoming all obstacles and becoming the 2016 women’s all-around gold medalist. She held on for a bronze medal behind Maria Paseka of Russian Federation.
The vault final included a wide field of gymnasts in Rio Olympic Arena: it’s rare, for instance, for an Olympic gymnast to face a competitor who’s more than twice her age.
It’s become clear that American gymnast Simone Biles is just operating on another level.
Namesake skill, which she does on her second tumbling pass on floor exercise. “The Olympic gymnast seemed like she could totally care less when her teammate Simone Biles won the women’s all-around event, looking so salty and refusing to stand and cheer on her victory”, Hollywood Life reported on Friday.
Raisman has yet to say if she will retire after the Olympics and what she plans to do following the Games.
