anticipated event of the games at least in the last twenty
four hours since we learned that Simone Biles planned
occupies the spot she earned a qualifying to
compete for a medal along with seven others in this to also
earn their way into this balance beam final
it has been seven days one week since Simone competed here in
Tokyo and during that time
Merican teammates have won individual medals of every type
gold silver and bronze including SUNY legal competes
tonight as the all around Olympic champion
it's that time Simone Biles competing again at the Olympics
back with a moment that we didn't know if you would get to
experience again here in Tokyo Simone Biles backing competent
so the gym this to arrived as a five time Olympic medalist all
gold except one on this event in Rio she captured bronze
the biggest name steps up to the balance beam
Simone Biles
the firm
Diggs combination right here three elements in a row
Diggs
good very solid
because she is doing an easier dismount this routine loses
about four tenths of a point
what thus far it's been fabulous
zero down
yes and that's the point
yeah but as soon as I saw her today I had absolutely no doubt
that we would see
what we typically see from this young woman
a routine that will resonate for years
to come
aided experience
here's that first combination those three elements in a row
back handspring to to back layouts normally
test of nerves showed absolutely none right there and
this is the dismount that she changed it looks so grab her
legs when you do that
really hard to twist
it was a very smart decision by coaches and gymnast
one more time to look at that dismount
and just like everything she does
she didn't just do a double pike
I mean she source
with the individual all around gold medalist
hang on every move and move in with her
and at home
hundred million the family
all right here with the George
in this moment not even about the number
so even fourteen
and into second place for Simone Biles
