With a near-perfect floor routine in her final event at the women's all-around final, Simone Biles clinches her sixth-ever Olympic gold medal and second in Paris.
Day 6 of the Olympics saw continued brilliance in women’s gymnastics and women’s swimming, a dominant women’s team given a scare, a banner day for rowing and more. Let’s jump into the action. Women’s gymnastics Simone Biles won gold in the women’s all-around final on Thursday, further cementing her status as one of the greatest Olympians of all time. It was Biles’ ninth gold, the most ever by an American gymnast. Her dominance caught the eye of basketball star Kevin Durant, who was in the crowd.
Belgium’s Emma Meesseman looked like a prime Zach Randolph, giving USA’s frontcourt all they could handle. Meessemen scored 24 points in 38 minutes, doing all she could to help her country pull off one of the greatest upsets at the Games. But the U.S. is just too talented. With the perimeter players struggling a bit, Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson stepped up, combining for 49 points and 20 rebounds.
