Simone Biles has added another Olympic gold medal to her collection after triumphing in the all-around gymnastics event at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Overcoming a rare error on the uneven bars, Biles secured her ninth Olympic medal with stellar performances on the beam and floor, scoring 14.566 and 15.066 respectively. This victory reaffirms her status as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.
Her USA teammate, Suni Lee, also made a significant mark by clinching the bronze medal with an impressive floor routine. Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade took silver, narrowly missing the top spot.
Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, was present to witness her triumph, having taken time off from his NFL training camp. Biles’ latest gold follows her recent success in the team finals, where she became the most decorated American gymnast. This victory also comes three years after she withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics to prioritize her mental health, demonstrating her remarkable comeback.
Biles celebrated her win by sharing a photo with her teammates, subtly addressing criticism from former Olympic teammate MyKayla Skinner. With her latest achievement, Biles has further cemented her legacy in the annals of gymnastics history.
