Rebeca Andrade, Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles capped an exhilarating gymnastics meet at the Paris Olympics with a first, as the trio stood on the podium together for the floor exercise.
Gold medal winner Andrade, who has become a national treasure for Brazil as she overcame poverty and then three ACL knee injuries to win international titles, is now her country's most decorated Olympic athlete, with six medals.
Chiles' coaches on Team USA had questioned whether judges gave her appropriate credit for a leaping skill in her routine. A review backed the coaches.
For Biles, the all-time great won silver in her last event in what could be her final Olympic Games. The new Olympics medal is her 11th, the most won by any U.S. gymnast.
