After winning gold in the individual all-around and helping the US to a dominant win in team all-around, Simone Biles picked up her third gold medal in five days at the Paris Olympics in the vault on Saturday.

Biles entered the final among the favourites, but faced a tough challenge from Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who won gold in the event at the Tokyo Olympics and is the only gymnast who has ever “stressed out” the American superstar.
