Team USA’s women’s gymnastics squad dazzled their way to gold at the Paris Olympics, leading Simone Biles to become the most-decorated Olympic gymnast ever with eight medals. TODAY’s Craig Melvin reports on more highlights from swimming and rugby.
Simone Biles and Suni Lee are facing off in the individual all-around competition. This is the first time two gold medalists are competing against each other.Biles is used to her numbers coming in higher than those of most of her competitors. And when it comes to age, it’s no different.She and her Team USA teammates earned gold at the team final Tuesday, giving Biles’ her eighth Olympic gold medal — the most of any U.S. gymnast.
For many years, understanding gymnastics was pretty simple — falls are bad, and a 10 is the best score! Some of the old rules still stand, but scoring in the sport is more complicated than it was in past decades.The current scoring system can seem less intuitive than the previous one to audiences who do not follow the sport between the Olympic Games.
The Perfect 10 still exists in gymnastics, but it is no longer the only metric used to calculate a score. Today’s gymnasts receive scores in two separate categories for each routine: difficulty and execution. The difficulty score is open-ended, while execution is scored out of a 10.00.The women’s individual all-around final kicks off at 12:15 p.m. ET. Catch all the action on NBC and Peacock.
