Tokyo Olympics, artistic gymnastics women’s individual all-around final – where to watch live in India
Can reigning champion Simone Biles win the USA a fifth straight Olympic gold medal in the event at Tokyo 2020? Watch Olympics artistic gymnastics live!
All eyes will be on USA’s Simone Biles when she enters the Ariake Gymnastics Centre for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics artistic gymnastics women’s individual all-around final on Thursday. The 24-year-old, after all, is the reigning champion from Rio.
In fact, USA has had a stranglehold on the gold medal in the discipline since Romania’s legendary Simona Amanar won top honours at Sydney 2000.
Carly Patterson won it at Athens 2004, Nastia Liukin at Beijing 2008, Gabby Douglas at London 2012 before Simone Biles announced herself at Rio 2016.
Simone Biles will look to continue the legacy at Tokyo. The American, however, will be up against some tough competition in the field of 24, which includes her own USA team-mate Sunisa Lee.
In qualifying, Simone Biles was far from her usual best but did enough to top the standings with a total of 57.731 across the four apparatus’ – vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade finished second with 57.399 followed by Lee at third.
ROC’s Angelina Melnikova and Vladislava Urazova also finished with scores over 57 in the qualifiers and will have an eye on upsetting Biles for the top podium.
British twin sisters, Jessica and Jennifer Gadirova, will also be competing in the final.
Indian gymnast Pranati Nayak did not make the cut for the finals after ranking a lowly 79th out of 80 participants in the qualification round.
