RIO DE JANEIRO -- So this is what its like to finally see Simone Biles unplugged. She has always shown off a wry sense of humor, but she can finally see the finish line at the 2016 Rio Olympics now that she is just about done delivering on every bit of the extraordinary hype that preceded her. And shes starting to extrapolate a little more on her answers, loosen up, crack a few jokes and banter with everyone around her.Shes even finally consenting to answer the previously off-limit topics like whether her amazing feats ever impress her?Yes, sometimes, Biles admitted. If Im lying in bed, Im impressed with myself. Or I woke up the other morning, and [teammate] Laurie Hernandez said, Hey, Simone. You did it! You really won! And Im like, Oh, yes I did. So that was very cool.Biles went on to note she has been surprised at the weight of the three gold medals she has now won -- much heavier than I thought -- but that she and teammate Aly Raisman had already decided not to wear the first two medals they won here at the same time after they did so to oblige a TV interview, and Biles discovered when they hit together and scratched the paint on the gold.Even in Rio, where the diving pool turns green and the golf course is dotted by grazing capybaras (think guinea pigs on steroids), its not likely the medals are spray painted gold rather than real gold. But Biles blithely kept going, touching on another previously verboten topic -- what she wants to do in the future -- by confirming yes, shed love a shot at being on Dancing with Stars when she gets back home even though I cant dance.She also shared her personal policy on dealing with outside criticism from fans and the media: I dont kinda listen to what people say sometimes if I dont like it.Its probably not a coincidence that Biles would pick now to finally allow a little more of a peek behind the curtain about what she has been feeling.Sunday, she knocked down two more of her pre-Olympic goals in one fell swoop when the individual apparatus medal events began with womens bars and vault.Though Biles is making just her first Olympic appearance, she bypassed fellow American Shannon Miller as the most decorated gymnast of all-time Sunday while becoming the first American woman ever to capture the Olympic vault individual gold medal. Her winning score of 15.900 that easily outdistanced Russias Maria Paseka (15.253) and Germanys Guilia Steinbruber (15.216).Biles now has 17 world or Olympic medals and she is only 19.She rolled her eyes afterward only when asked if she could imagine still doing gymnastics at age 41, the same age as Uzbehkistans Oksana Chusovitina, one of her vault rivals Sunday.Its amazing that shes still going and shes so strong at what she does, but I cant even -- no. I couldnt do that at 41 -- no, Biles said, waggin her head.How about 31? No. Stop, Biles added.Well then what about 23 -- the age shell be when the next Summer Games roll around in Tokyo? Well, that might be bearable, Biles allowed, noting Raisman is 22, and weve all seen what she does at this age.Madison Kocian and Gabby Douglas also competed Sunday. They were in the individual final on the uneven bars. While Douglas lost her medal chance with a slight break on her opening handstand that sent her freefalling to seventh place, Kocian, a defending world co-champ in the event, did a terrific set but lost by .067 points to Aliya Mustafina of Russia.A few members of the American team were shown on the arena scoreboard sitting on the edges of their seat in the stands, looking excited, thinking Kocian had won -- then flying backward in surprise when she had not.But Kocian insisted she was satisfied.Im happy with how I performed, she said, noting the difference might have been the start value (or degree of difficulty) of Mustafinas set was 1/10th higher than hers.Biles vault win was her third gold medal in as many events here in Rio, another record total for an American. It complemented the medals she picked up earlier in the individual all-around and team competitions. And shes not done yet. She has a chance to go five-for-five if she can win the individual beam and floor exercise events when the gymnastics competition closes out over the next two days. She has the best qualifying scores in both events.After that? Biles has already said she wants to have a team pizza party and binge a little. And her coach, Aimee Boorman, has said Biles is looking forward to getting out and having some fun at these Games.Not that gymnastics isnt fun, but she wants to have normal people fun, Boorman said, agreeing that Biles has no idea what a sensation shes become beyond Rio, especially back in the U.S.I dont think she understands the explosion, Boorman said. Were all in this Olympic bubble and theyre kind of like, Oh, this is fun. Were winning medals! When we get home, they have no idea whats to come.Biles insists she doesnt spend a lot time thinking about it.Im just Biles, she says.But heres a hint for her: Shes not the only one whos impressed.

David Hayes has autumn aspirations for Snitzson who has stepped from a maiden victory to winning in metropolitan class race at Pakenham.Having his third race start, Snitzson won the Wise Choice Catering Handicap on Saturday following a classy ride by Craig Williams.Sent out a $7 chance, Snitzson scored by 1-3/4 lengths from Ballet Master ($9) with the $5.50 favourite Gratwick a further three-quarters-of-a-length away third.Hayes said Snitzson would have one more start before being freshened for a tilt at a Melbourne autumn campaign.He indicated there was a suitable three-year-old race at Flemington on December 17.Well probably go one more with him as hes still learning and then we can put him aside for the autumn, Hayes said.ddddddddddddHe wont go out of work. Hell have one of those rolling English preparations.Hes got a giant stride and is very progressive and I think hell be better at a mile.Snitzson was a $60,000 yearling purchase which Hayes said now looks cheap after Saturdays success.The senior trainer at Lindsay Park said it was a big step in grade for Snitzson to win on Saturday after his victory in maiden grade at Cranbourne last month.Its one thing winning a maiden but its another thing beating a progressive bunch of young horses which he did today, Hayes said.
