By WILL GRAVES PARIS (AP) — Simone Biles remains peerless. Even when she’s not quite perfect. The American gymnastics star edged Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade during a tense Olympic all-around final Thursday. Biles’ total of 59.131 was just over a point ahead of Andrade at 57.932, one of the closest calls Biles has ever endured at a major international event. Sunisa Lee, the Tokyo Olympics champion, earned bronze despite spending much of the last 15 months dealing with multiple kidney diseases that left her return to the Games very much in doubt. Still, the meet ended just like all the ones Biles has started and finished over the last 11 years: with hugs and gold on the way. And a silver goat chain — along with a gold medal — around the Greatest of All Time’s neck. “It is crazy that I am in the conversation of ‘Greatest of all athletes’ because I just still think, ‘I’m Simone Biles from Spring, Texas who loves to flip,’” she said. The margin was the smallest in a major international event since Biles captured the third of her record six world championships in 2015. She was a teenager then.
