REVIEW Olympics-Gymnastics-Many 'twisties' and turns, but Biles exits Games a champion
While Biles did not rewrite the Olympic record book as planned, she did leave an indelible mark on the Tokyo Games, changing the narrative from winning medals to championing athlete mental health and well-being.
For the next week Biles' story would overshadow everything else that happened at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre, and much of the Games, as she withdrew from event after event. Another U.S. team mate, Jade Carey, would replace her as gold medallist on the floor and Brazil's Rebeca Andrade would claim her vault title.
A team silver and the beam bronze bring Biles' career Olympic haul to seven medals, but that falls far below the target many had set for the powerhouse American.
