Who won the women's all-around gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics?

Sunisa Lee won the women’s all-around gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The final was held on July 29, 2021, because the Games had been postponed from 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic while retaining the Tokyo 2020 name.

Lee scored 57.433 points across vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. She finished ahead of Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who won silver, and the Russian Olympic Committee’s Angelina Melnikova, who took bronze.

Lee’s victory was especially notable because defending champion Simone Biles withdrew from the all-around competition after experiencing the “twisties,” a dangerous loss of spatial awareness in the air. Lee became the fifth consecutive American woman to win the Olympic all-around title and the first Hmong American Olympic champion.
