How Simone Biles detoxified gymnastics
As the Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade prepared for her beam dismount, a cry rang out around Bercy Arena: “Come on, you got it.” The source of the shout was Simone Biles, the all-time queen of gymnastics. Even though she had already fallen in her own routine, Biles was supporting her leading rival in a manner that transcended national boundaries. After a series of horrific abuse scandals over the past five years, gymnastics stands in serious need of detoxification. The mark – a lofty 9.712 – completed the US’s memorable victory and made Strug a heroine.
