Biles, who is considered the best in the world in her sport, is likely to collect a second gold Thursday in the all-around final, the crown jewel of Olympic gymnastics. Still, she made the cut for the all-around and the bars final. Her teammate Aly Raisman finished second but was nearly 2 points behind Biles in an event often decided by tenths of a point. Look for both women to deliver commanding routines: Biles usually aces every flip and leap; Raisman is particularly strong on vault and floor exercise. Mustafina tied Raisman, with 59.566 total points, in the all-around at the 2012 London Games.
