US gymnastics superstar Simone Biles won her seventh Olympic medal in the Ariake Arena in Tokyo and even by her own extraordinary standards it may be destined to be her most coveted of the lot.

Biles later confirmed she had pulled out due to 'twisting', explaining in a social media quote:"It has never transferred to bars and beam for me. This time it's literally in every event which sucks.
