- Britain in sixth with Brazil second and France third
Two years after she was forced to withdraw from the Olympic team final and spent the remainder of the night on the sidelines, this time Simone Biles was there right until the end.
Charged with closing out another gold medal before a raucous crowd on her floor routine, Biles refused to blink. She marched through a searing routine, drawing a standing ovation as the United States clinched a sixth consecutive team gold medal at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships with a score of 167.729.
