Paris — Simone Biles is targeting two more Olympic golds on Monday to crown a historic Games in Paris as pole vault king Armand Duplantis aims for yet another world record.
Biles , widely considered the greatest gymnast in history, can end all debate if she triumphs in the balance beam and floor exercises at the Bercy Arena.The 27-year-old on Saturday claimed her third gold in Paris, winning the vault to take her overall Olympics tally to seven golds.Her astounding achievements come just three years after she famously imploded in Tokyo, suffering from the debilitating mental block known as the 'twisties.
The reason for that is that I have been showing it as well.'I go into every competition trying to jump as high as I possibly can. I think it should be enough to do what I know I can do. You get used to it and you know how to control it.'Dutch runner Sifan Hassan goes in the final of the women's 5,000m, as she hunts a golden treble of 5,000, 10,000m and marathon to match Czech athlete Emil Zatopek, who achieved the feat at the 1952 Helsinki Games.
