Gold Medals for Japan and the U.S.

The artistic gymnastics started last week. I first heard about the Japanese gymnasts from my sister, who lives in the U.S. She said in an email, “I don’t know who I saw, Hashimoto or Oka, but he was fantastic!” I found out later that the Japanese men’s team won the gold medal, and Oka Shinnosuke got the gold in the Men’s All-Round. Then I saw Simone Biles do her incredible floor exercise. The American women’s team won the gold medal. Then Biles got the gold in the Women’s All-Round, and her teammate, Sunisa Lee, won the bronze medal. I was happy to see both countries doing so well. (108 words)
