Rio 2016 Gymnastics All Around
The Excitement of Rio 2016
The Rio 2016 Olympics was a highly anticipated event, with gymnastics being one of the top events that everyone was looking forward to. The gymnastics all around competition, held on August 11, 2016, was one of the most thrilling events of the entire Olympics. Gymnasts from all around the world gathered to compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals.
The Gymnastics All Around Competition
The gymnastics all around competition is one of the most prestigious events in gymnastics, as it tests the gymnasts' abilities in all four apparatuses: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. The competition consists of two days of competition, with the gymnasts performing on each apparatus on both days. The scores from both days are then added together to determine the winners.
The Gold Medalist: Simone Biles
Simone Biles, the American gymnast, was the favorite to win the gold medal in the gymnastics all around competition. Biles had already won three gold medals in the team, vault, and floor exercise events, and was looking to add another gold medal to her collection. Biles did not disappoint, putting on an incredible performance on all four apparatuses to win the gold medal.
Biles on the Vault
Biles' vault was one of the most impressive of the competition, with her executing a Yurchenko double pike, a move that no other female gymnast had ever attempted in competition before. The move was so difficult that it was named after her, and is now known as the "Biles" in the gymnastics world.
Biles on the Uneven Bars
Although uneven bars is not Biles' strongest apparatus, she still managed to put on a strong performance, executing a difficult routine that included a toe-on Shaposhnikova and a full twisting double tuck dismount.
Biles on the Balance Beam
The balance beam is one of the most difficult apparatuses in gymnastics, but Biles made it look easy. She executed a flawless routine that included a front aerial, a back handspring, and a full twisting double back dismount.
Biles on the Floor Exercise
The floor exercise is Biles' strongest apparatus, and she did not disappoint in the all around competition. She executed a powerful routine that included a double layout, a front layout to front full, and a double pike.
The Other Medalists
The silver medal in the gymnastics all around competition went to Aly Raisman, Biles' American teammate. Raisman put on a strong performance on all four apparatuses, but was unable to match Biles' scores. The bronze medal went to Aliya Mustafina, the Russian gymnast, who put on a solid performance on all four apparatuses.
The Legacy of Rio 2016
The Rio 2016 Olympics was a historic event, with many incredible performances from athletes all around the world. Simone Biles' performance in the gymnastics all around competition was one of the defining moments of the entire Olympics, and cemented her place as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. The legacy of Rio 2016 will continue to inspire athletes for years to come.
