Simone Biles Wins 4th Gold Rio Medal

Putting yesterday’s balance beam blunder behind her, U.S. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles finished the Rio games with a fourth gold medal, her fifth medal total. Her floor routine was unstoppable and the crowd roared as she danced and flipped to Brazilian-themed music. Biles beat silver medalist Aly Raisman with a score of 15.966. Raisman scored a 15.500, and Amy Tinkler took the bronze, becoming the first British female gymnast to win a medal in Rio.
