In a sport where mere hundredths of a point can be the difference between silver and gold medals, the American team won the gold with a total score of 184.897, while Russia finished second with 176.688. That’s dominance. In the 2012 Olympics the women took the gold and won by 5 points. This time they won by 8. The team is nicknamed “The Fierce Five” and they truly deserve it.

Simone Biles gave a stellar performance on the floor, scoring a 15.800, which was the best of the competition.

Laurie Hernandez scored a 15.233 on the beam, as Aly Raisman scored a 15.000 and Biles scored a 15.300.

Madison Kocian scored 15.933 on the uneven bars finishing off the rotation for Team USA. Following close behind was Gabby Douglas, who scored 15.766 on the uneven bars.
