BATTLE CREEK, Mich.,
Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Simone Biles, U.S. Olympic gymnast and member of Team
Kellogg's, took the gold medal yesterday in the floor
competition, bringing her total to five total medals at the Olympic
Games. Biles finished with a score of 15.966 in the floor
competition to win gold, adding to her collection of gold in the
team competition, individual all-around and vault competitions, as
well as bronze on balance beam.
"I'm thrilled that I was able to share my first Olympic Games
experience with my U.S. teammates," said Biles. "The support down
here in Rio has been amazing – between my family, Team USA and Team Kellogg's I've felt so much love.
This whole experience has been a dream come true."
What Gets Simone Biles Started? She credits her teammates. With
an ever-expanding collection of medals and her own signature move,
she's one of the best gymnasts in the world. So to get away from it
all, she goes to… the gym. It's there with her teammates that
Simone truly has fun and enjoys the sport. It's good to surround
yourself with winners, on and off the mat.
