    Simone BIles made it look easy on Saturday night as she bagged her third gold medal in the Paris Olympics and her seventh overall in three Summer Game appearances. This was after the 27-year-old finished first in the vault final thanks to her flawless execution of the Yurchenko double pike, aka the Biles II.

    The truth of the matter, however, is that it was anything but a walk in the park for the greatest U.S. gymnast of all. Rebeca Andrade gave Biles a run for her money yet again, with the decorated Brazilian gymnast putting up a formidable challenge in the final.

    Ultimately, Biles' 15.300 average score for her two vaults was enough to edge out Andrade, who finished second with an average score of 14.966. American Jade Carey rounded out the top three after scoring a 14.466 average.
