Here to witness Biles GOATness and the resurgence of romanian gymnastics after too many years of obscurity.

Also, Italy seems able to field some competitive teams, I'm gutted that on the women side some of our strongest competitors (Ferrari, probably career ending at this point, and Asia D'Amato) are out.

Almost got silver too, I was not sure they'd medal at all. The women should win gold but without a doubt Biles being banged up and Carey being sick opens the door a bit if they have some gaffs, had that team had the planned 4 members without the 2 injuries that occurred in May and June they'd have won tomorrow by 10 points or more

Italy secure surprise medal.

Simone just secured the gold for US. I don't know much about gymnastics but she's a special talent.

 

[BMOK33]

Italy was like +4000 to medal lol

 

[Incubajerks]

First medal after 96 years lol. To be fair they went close in Tokyo.

It's amazing that Andrade has had 3 ACL tears and is still great.

 

[Jussi]

Damn! That should be gold locked up.

And there it is!

Congrats to Suni Lee, the first woman to podium in the individual all around in consecutive olympics since Nadia Comăneci

Gold in Tokyo, Bronze in Paris

Andrade wins with her score most years where the name of the winner is not Biles

Why are gymnasts so short? Seems like the shorter you are the more likely you are to be good at gymnastics. Is it because they are low to the ground?

Increase height, lose agility.

Yeah, definitely legit source.

The ADHD medication she's taking has always been well known and under control.

Russian hackers leak Simone Biles and Serena Williams files

The World Anti-Doping Agency condemns Russian hackers for leaking confidential medical files of Olympic athletes including Serena Williams and Simone Biles.

The hacker group had accused her of taking an "illicit psycho-stimulant", but she said she had "always followed the rules".

The Rio Olympics quadruple gold medallist had obtained the necessary permission to take prescription medicine on the Wada banned drugs list, USA Gymnastics said in a statement.

Biles wins gold in the vault.
