Simone Biles finished out her first Olympics on a high-flying note, striking gold for the fourth time on Tuesday afternoon to win the women's individual floor exercise event at the Rio Summer Games.
A day after finishing third on the balance beam, Biles scored a whopping 15.966 score for her floor routine, which was stacked with difficulty and gravity-defying tumbling passes. The 19-year-old all-around champion now has four golds and a bronze for this Olympics.
