Simone Biles earns her 7th gold medal by winning women’s vault final at Paris Olympics
PARIS (Gray News) – Simone Biles earned her 10th career Olympic medal on Saturday by taking the women’s vault final for a second time.
Biles has already become the most decorated American gymnast in the history of the Olympics.
She added her seventh gold medal thanks to her performance in the vault final and boosted her medal count at major international competitions to 40, the most by any gymnast.
Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade pushed Biles in Saturday’s final but it wasn’t enough.
Andrade ended up taking silver in the competition and American gymnast Jade Carey earned bronze.
Biles, along with her teammates, also took home the gold medal in the women’s gymnastics team final earlier in the week.
