Gymnastics legend Simone Biles, has returned. At 27, the Texan now has five Olympic crowns to his great record, and it may never end. In these 2024 Olympic Games, he is also qualified for four of the five individual finals, except for the uneven bars.
Three years ago in Tokyo, it was precisely during the finals of the all-team competition that the 2021 Olympics turned into a nightmare for Biles. He left suddenly, after only one jump, before explaining that he was fighting against “twisties”, loss of bearings in a dangerous place for gymnasts. However, a silver medalist with the United States, he only participated in the balance beam final, at the end of the competition, where he won a bronze medal.
Simone Biles only returned to the competition two years later, in the summer of 2023 in the United States, the following fall on the international scene, with four amazing Worlds in Antwerp (Belgium).
A priceless track record that can still grow
In the Bercy Arena this Tuesday, July 30 in the early evening, Biles, the calf on the left still bandaged, leotard in beautiful American colors, repeated his Olympic history by dressing he won the gold with his teammates Jordan Chiles and Sunisa Lee, in front of an audience of stars, of sports legend Nadia Comaneci and of tennis Serena Williams, by Nicole Kidman, Spike Lee and Bill Gates.
With a total of 171.296 points, the Americans beat Italy (165.494) and Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade (164.497) in the group competition. This fifth Olympic competition for Biles is her first since her four in Rio eight years ago. In Brazil, she collected gold in the team all-around, individual all-around, floor and vault, along with bronze on the balance beam.
His collection of 23 world titles and 30 world medals, achieved between 2013 and 2023, is unmatched. And it can grow again very quickly. Simone Biles has an appointment with an all-around competition on Thursday.
