Simone Biles stuns during the floor exercise claiming her record-equalling fourth gold at Rio 2016 on 16 August.
Simone got back in her form to capture the floor title with 15.966 points after a day wobbly performance on the beam.
19-year-old Biles served up a powerful display of acrobatics and tumbling that nobody else in the final could come close to matching. Aly Raisman completed a one-two for the USA with a score of 15.500, while Great Britain’s Amy Tinkler (14.933) took bronze.
“I’m a little bit relieved because it’s been a long journey,” reflected Biles. “I’ve enjoyed every single moment of it and I know our team has. It’s been very long and, competing so many times this week, it kind of got tiring. We just wanted to end on a good note.”
