Simone Biles wins Olympic gold for USA in Rio

USA's Simone Biles wins her second gold of the Rio Olympics with victory in the women's all-around gymnastics.

USA's Simone Biles has won her second gold medal of the Rio Olympics with victory in the women's individual all-around gymnastics this evening.

The American has been tipped to become the first gymnast to win five golds at a single Games, and she remained on course for that target with a stunning showing in Brazil.

The 19-year-old, who missed out on a place at London 2012 due to being three months too young, was awarded the highest scores in three of the four disciplines, with the uneven bars the only apparatus where she was beaten.

Biles finished with a floor routine that secured the top prize, putting her more than two points clear of teammate and silver medallist Aly Raisman.

Russia's Aliya Mustafina completed the podium in third, narrowly edging out China's Shang Chunsong to bronze.
