Reading
Simone Biles – Level 5
Ms Biles, 22, showed her customary modesty with reporters. Rather than celebrate her records, she expressed frustration at her mistakes. She said: “I know…how well I can do, so I just want to do the best routine for the audience and for myself out here.” Biles is a perfectionist and said she was disappointed after falling after her triple-double. She said she wanted to “scratch the meet” after she fell. The plaudits came flooding in following her routines. Former gymnast Nastia Liukin tweeted: “Simone’s got enough gold medals at home, someone give this girl a crown.”
