        Simone Biles Wins Bronze On Return

        Gymnastics star Simone Biles won bronze in the balance beam final, a week after withdrawing from multiple events to take care of her mental health. China's Guan Chenchen won gold while compatriot Tang Xijing won silver. Biles withdrew from all-around, uneven bars, floor exercise and vault finals due to a phenomenon called the "twisties" where gymnasts are unable to locate themselves in air mid-routines.

        #SimoneBiles has won #bronze in #ArtisticGymnastics - Women's Balance Beam at #Tokyo2020

        Congratulations Simone 🤍

        Wrestler Sonam Malik Loses On Olympic Debut

        19-year-old Sonam Malik lost in the first round of the women's 62 kg wrestling event to Mongolia's Bolortuya Khurelkhuu on criteria. Malik led 2-0 until the final 30 seconds of her bout before Khurelkhuu pulled off a two-point move and take the lead. In wrestling, ties are decided on three criteria. Malik won both her points for different moves (1,1) but Khurelkhuu had the higher scoring move (2). Malik is still in contention to win bronze via repechage.

        How to decide the winner when the bout ends in a tie?

        3 criteria are taken into consideration (in that order)

        1. Wrestler with bigger technique/hold

        Eg- Score 5-5. Red scored in 4,1 pattern. Blue scored in 1,2,2 pattern

        Red will be winner because he has bigger move
