Simone Biles has made history as the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast of all time. Her latest accolade came with a gold medal in the women’s gymnastics team event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, further enhancing her already stellar resume.
Teaming up with Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, Suni Lee, and Hezly Rivera, Biles played a crucial role in securing the gold medal. This victory is a notable comeback after a silver medal performance in the last Olympics. With this latest win, Simone’s total Olympic medal count now stands at eight: five gold, one silver, and two bronze, surpassing her previous tie with Shannon Miller for the most medals.
Biles’s achievement is particularly poignant given her decision to step back from individual competitions at the Tokyo 2020 Games to prioritize her mental health. With her return to top form, she is poised to compete in several more events at the Paris Games, including:
– Women’s All-Around Final: Thursday, August 1
– Event Finals Day 1 (Women’s Vault): Saturday, August 3
– Event Finals Day 2 (Women’s Uneven Bars): Sunday, August 4
– Event Finals Day 3 (Women’s Balance Beam and Floor Exercise): Monday, August 5
