Rio Olympics 2016: Simone Biles, Danell Leyva highlight Gymnastics Gala

In a fun, non-judged event, American medalists Simone Biles and Danell Leyva returned for one last performance in Rio for the Gymnastics Gala on Wednesday.

Biles redeemed her shaky final balance beam routine with an artistic routine. The beam was the only routine in which Biles did not win gold. Instead, she placed behind American Laurie Hernandez and won bronze.
