No Biles, no problem. Who needs Simone Biles when you have Suni Lee? Suni Lee became the fifth straight American woman to win Olympic all-around gold on Thursday when she beat Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade at the Tokyo Olympics. Lee recorded a 57.344 score inching out Andrade who scored 57.298.
Lee became first Asian woman to claim Olympic gold in the all-around. Simone Biles withdrawing from this event opened the door for Lee to grab gold.

Biles also followed that up with an Instagram post:
Say what you want about Biles withdrawing from competition, but she’s clearly a great teammate, and still all in on TEAM USA.
Once a GOAT, always a GOAT!
