Photo: ReutersDutchwoman Sanne Wevers caused a huge upset when she ruined Simone Biles' chances of scooping a record five golds at a single Olympics by winning the balance beam title in Rio. Biles' misfortune allowed Wevers to become the first female Dutch gymnast to grab gold in an individual final, with a graceful routine featuring numerous spins, including a triple. Biles, a double world champion on the beam, was rock solid as she spun around 900 degrees on her right toes. Biles will be back on tomorrow when she will be favourite to win the floor exercise.
