Suni Lee won bronze in the individual all-around gymnastics final after a dazzling floor routine finale that electrified viewers around the world.

Nerves were high as Lee, the defending champion in the event, took to the floor for her last competition of the night. She needed to deliver an outstanding performance and receive a score of at least 13.535 to pull past Italys Alice DAmato and secure her spot on the podium.

This needs to be the routine of her life here, commentator Laurie Hernandez said as the music began Thursday.

And deliver she did, with a score of 13.666, guaranteeing herself bronze ahead of the penultimate performance from Brazils Rebeca Andrade, who ended up taking silver.

The final competitor of the night was Simone Biles, who soared to gold with her own breathtaking floor show after a shaky uneven bars performance earlier in the night left her fate up in the air.

Biles and Lee both made history as the first U.S. gymnasts ever to win a medal more than once in the all-around.
