Simone Biles heads into the Olympics bidding to crown the greatest gymnastics career in history with only herself to beat.
The 24-year-old American superstar has not lost an all-around competition since 2013, an eight-year era of domination that has encompassed 19 world championship gold and four Olympic golds.
In Tokyo, Biles is poised to become the first woman in more than half a century to retain the all-around title, and could well end up equalling Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina s record of nine Olympic gold medals.
