The day would begin fine Biles doing her balance beam routine, but it was while she was warming up for her floor exercise that you could hear her talk about pain to her calf. *** couple of weeks ago, she felt, you know, after I stopped and then just *** little bit, she would get attention from the team doctor and have that leg wrapped after sitting and watching for B Biles was back in action in *** big way, the floor posting the highest score and doing the same in the vault. She would take *** routine on the bars as well. Now remember it was in Tokyo where she had the twisties. So all eyes had been on her as *** redemption type story here in Paris. We will continue to follow vile and team usa gymnastics throughout our time here at the Olympic Games in Paris at the Summer Olympics. I'm Jason Newton.

If you’re tuning into the Olympics gymnastics events looking for the perfect 10, sorry, that’s so 1992.The International Gymnastics Federation tweaked the system after the 2004 Athens Games, going to one that awards separate scores on execution and deduction.A score is divided into two parts. The difficulty or “D-score” is what a gymnast does. The execution or “E” score is how well they do it.The E-table is based on a 10-point system, though no perfect 10 for execution has ever been awarded anywhere since the new paradigm was introduced (though American Simone Biles has come close a couple of times on vault).Shorthand: a score of 13.0 or better is solid. Anything in the 14s is excellent and puts you in medal contention. A 15 or better and you’re pretty much assured of a gold medal.During the finals, each team will enter three athletes per event, with all three scores counting. That differs from qualifying, when four athletes go up on each event, with the lowest score being dropped from the team total.
