Simone Biles wins the all-around title for her sixth Olympic gold and becomes the oldest winner of the event for 72 years.
Simone Biles won the all-around gymnastics title for her second Olympic gold in Paris and her sixth overall to cement her place back at the top of her sport with yet another sparkling slice of history.
Aged 27, she is the first gymnast to win non-consecutive all-around Olympic titles - a real demonstration of her longevity in a gruelling sport dominated by teenagers over the years. Biles' intention was clear from the outset, starting off with her 'Biles II' vault - the hardest in women's gymnastics - and it proved a good decision as she needed that extra buffer of points when she then made an uncharacteristic mistake on the uneven bars.
