TOKYO: Rebeca Andrade, the all-around silver medallist, went one better when succeeding the absent Simone Biles as women’s vault champion at the Olympics today.
In silver came Mykayla Skinner, who took Biles’ place in the final after the American superstar pulled out with “the twisties”, a condition where gymnasts lose the ability to orientate themselves in mid-air.
The bronze went to Yeo Seo-jeong of South Korea.
