Sunisa Lee has won Olympic gold in the marquee individual competition of women's gymnastics after U.S. star and heavy favorite Simone Biles pulled out to take care of her mental health.
"I was nervous, but I did my best, and I'm super proud of myself," Lee told reporters after the competition. "It's crazy. I didn't ever think I'd be here."
Lee's win is the fifth Olympic gold in a row for the United States in the individual all-around. Team USA's dominance in the sport was called into question after the Russians took gold in the team event two days ago.
Brazil's Rebeca Andrade took silver, winning the first ever medal for her country in women's artistic gymnastics. Angelina Melnikova, a veteran of the team from Russia, took bronze.
After her win, Lee smiled and hugged her teammate Jade Carey, who placed eighth.
After Biles withdrew, Lee, an 18-year-old from Minnesota, became the highest-qualifying U.S. gymnast for the all-around final. Each country is allowed to send a maximum of two gymnasts to the event.

JFK Assassination Cover-up
Some Unpopular History of the United States
And
The real Watergate story, Nixon, and the North American mafia
I got started on this paper after hearing Lamar Waldron describe his new book, Watergate: The Hidden History Nixon, the mafia and the CIA. Based on my years of research, I decided to shorten his shocking book down to 24 pages. His is some 800 pages long. I have not read his book, but do I need to?
