RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) " Simone Biles put the finishing touches on one of the greatest Olympics by a gymnast, capturing her fourth gold of the games with a showstopping performance in the floor exercise on Tuesday. The 19-year-old American completed an extraordinary stretch that included a team gold for the "Final Five" as well as individual golds in the all-around and vault and bronze on balance beam. Her five medals tie the most for an American female gymnast in a single Olympics and her four golds tie an Olympic record shared by four others. Amy Tinkler of Great Britain earned bronze, though the day " and really the Olympics " belong to Biles. While she admitted she was a bit tired on Monday after her only one real mistake of the games " a wobbly landing on beam that cost her a shot at gold " Biles hardly looked it during her signature event.
