Simone Biles applauded as she prepares to compete in the balance beamAmerican gymnast Simone Biles was all smiles as she landed her faultless double pike dismount after a sensational routine during the balance beam final - as she won a bronze medal. - I can't compete in a country where you doping is banned ....😜 Uhm, no. Not because you say so, then it is so. There's a reason why they rank winners. Or maybe we can scrap the gold, silver and bronze medals altogether, and just give everyone participation medals.
