Women’s Olympic Trampoline Final

Bryony Page now has GOLD, SILVER, and BRONZE Olympic medals.

summing up the Olympic AA Final

Simone

With a four-apparatus total of 59.131 points, the 27-year-old joined legends Larisa Latynina (URS) and Vera Caslavska (TCH) Thursday as the only women to capture two Olympic titles in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics.

… silver medallist Rebeca Andrade (BRA) and bronze medallist Sunisa Lee (USA) …

… Andrade gave her a run for her money. She lead after two apparatus and finished only 1.199 points behind Biles — the smallest margin of any of Biles’s World or Olympic or All-Around victories since 2015.

She stayed relaxed.
