PARIS — “The Redemption Tour” ended in a familiar spot for Simone Biles: atop the Olympic podium.

With Biles at her show-stopping best, the Americans’ total of 171.296 was well clear of Italy and Brazil and the exclamation point of a yearlong run in which Biles has cemented her legacy as the greatest ever in her sport and among the best in the history of the Olympics.
