“Morning sessions are tricky. First of all, I am not a morning person. I was a little nervous because I hadn’t jumped in the morning since high school, probably.

Armand Duplantis, who was born in the U.S. but competes for Sweden, won gold with a world-record jump of 6.25 meters ,Silver medalist Simone Biles, of the United States, left, and bronze medalist Jordan Chiles, of the United States, right, bow to gold medalist Rebeca Andrade, of Brazil, during the medal ceremony Monday for the women's artistic gymnastics individual floor finals.. Biles reportedly had an excellent routine but was penalized when she stepped out of bounds twice.
