Simone Biles leads the United States to victory in the women's team gymnastics event to win her fifth Olympic gold and first since 2016.
Simone Biles inspired the United States to victory in the women's team gymnastics event as the first leg of what she has billed a "redemption tour" began with a fifth Olympic gold.
Fellow sporting greats like Serena Williams and Michael Phelps were on their feet in the packed Bercy Arena as Biles' stunning Taylor Swift-inspired floor routine sealed gold for the USA, ahead of Italy in silver and Brazil in bronze. Great Britain came an agonising fourth. And on Tuesday she carried on where she had left off as the Americans reclaimed the title they had lost to the Russian Olympic Committee at Tokyo 2020 in a final where Biles pulled out after the first rotation to protect her mental and physical health.
