How Simone Biles Made History With Her Third Gold

The crowd was much thinner in the Rio Olympic Arena, but that didn’t matter for U.S. gymnast Simone Biles. After clinching gold in the team and the all-around events, she added to her gilded collection with a score of 15.966. That makes Biles the first U.S. female gymnast to ever win a gold in vault.

It’s also personally satisfying; Biles has never won gold on the event at her past three world championships.
