Biles holds off Andrade to win 2nd individual all-around title

Simone Biles held off Brazil's Rebeca Andrade to win her second individual Olympic all-around title, eight years after winning the event in Rio de Janeiro. American Sunisa Lee rounded out the podium in third.

Biles continues her 11-year unbeaten streak in all-around meets where she's competed. The 27-year-old is the oldest all-around champion in more than 70 years, and her sixth gold medal makes Biles the fifth-most-decorated Olympic gymnast of all time.

"It is crazy I am in the conversation of the greatest of all time. I just think I'm still Simone Biles from Spring, Texas, who loves to flip," Biles said, according to Nancy Armour of USA Today.

This is the first time two Olympic all-around champions - Biles and Lee - have competed against each other in an Olympic all-around final. Biles is the first American gymnast and the first gymnast in more than 55 years to win two all-around titles. Biles is also the first gymnast, male or female, to win the title eight years after her first.

Andrade gave Biles a run for her money. A wobble from Biles on the uneven bars in the second rotation - her weakest apparatus - put Tokyo's all-around silver medalist in the lead and dropped Biles to third.

Biles kept her composure and fought back in the subsequent rotations, earning the highest scores in the beam and floor, catapulting her to first and finishing the meet more than a point ahead of Andrade. All three podium finishers in Paris are now two-time Olympic all-around medalists, the first time that's happened in the sport's history.

Biles' title comes three years after withdrawing in Tokyo with an infamous case of "the twisties." Her win extends the streak of American athletes winning the all-around final to six straight Olympics.

Biles and Andrades' next event comes Saturday with the vault final. Lee will compete in the bars final on Sunday.
