RIO DE JANEIRO, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th Augst,2016) - Simone Biles got her bid for a record five gold medals at the Rio Olympics off to a flying start on Tuesday as the United States defended their women's gymnastics team title.

The five-woman US team -- Biles, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez -- took the title ahead of Russia with China winning bronze in the Rio Olympic Arena.
