PARIS -- Simone Biles sealed her sixth gold medal with a soaring floor routine and launched into a flag-waving celebration with American teammate Suni Lee, the bronze medalist in the women's gymnastics all-around on Thursday at the Olympic Games.

Biles' score of 59.131 made her the most decorated Olympic gymnast ever with nine overall medals. She becomes the oldest woman (27) to win the Olympics all-around since 1952.

She also is the first woman since 1968 to win two Olympic all-around championships.

Rebeca Andrade of Brazil claimed silver.
