During the team final Simone Biles withdrew after vault; Urazova competed on all four apparatuses. Although Urazova and teammate Melnikova fell off the balance beam, the Russian team performed well on all other routines and finished in first place, over three points ahead of the second place American team.{{cite web|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/with-simone-biles-out-russia-wins-womens-gymnastics-team-gold-in-tokyo-125451352.html|title=With Simone Biles out, Russia wins women's gymnastics team gold in Tokyo|work=Yahoo!
