American star Simone Biles is ready for her Olympic encore. The 24-year-old heads to Tokyo looking to become the first female gymnast to repeat as Olympic champion in more than 50 years. Biles won five medals at the 2016 Games, including four gold. She headlines an American team heavily favored to win a third straight Olympic title. Russia, China and Japan will be in a three-way fight for gold in the men’s competition. The field also includes 46-year-old Oksana Chusovitina of Uzbekistan, who is competing in her eighth Olympics.
