Repeat champs! U.S. women win gold in gymnastics team final

With a nearly five-point lead heading into the final rotation, the U.S. completed its mission with poise, winning gold on Tuesday with a dominating mix of skill and showmanship under major pressure.
This was a second straight Olympic gold medal in the team event for the U.S. women and was the final international campaign for the legendary Martha Karolyi, the team’s national coordinator.
In 2012, the U.S. beat second-place Russia by more than five points.
This time, it was by an 8.2-point margin.
