Simone Biles Wins Gymnastics All-Around Gold in Rio

It was over almost before it started.

With appropriately gold glitter shadow rimming her eyes, Simone Biles kicked off the women's gymnastics all-around competition at the 2016 Olympics with her Amanar vault, the trickiest one that women perform, with two-and-a-half twists before landing facing forward. She wasn’t as solid on the landing as she was during the team competition, but it was enough to earn her 15.866, the highest on that event.
