A historic showdown between Team USA teammates unfolded at Bercy Arena in Paris.
What to know
Simone Biles won the 2024 Olympic all-around title, making her the first two-time all-around champion since 1968.
This was the first time in Olympic history that two previous all-around gold medalists were on the same team and going head to head: Suni Lee (2020) and Simone Biles (2016).
Simone Biles, 27, became the oldest all-around champion in 72 years.
Simone Biles says she started the morning of her historic win with therapy
“Even this morning at 7 a.m., I saw my therapist, and there’s a time change,” she told reporters. “So she is so amazing for allowing me to do that these (past) couple of days … I think you see that on the competition floor.”
Biles has spoken openly about turning to therapy as a tool in recent years. During a 2021 interview with TODAY’s Hoda Kotb, she reflected on how her struggles with mental health forced her to withdraw from multiple events at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. She explained how therapy helped her to confront those challenges.
“I don’t think people understand the magnitude of what I go through,” she said at the time. “But for so many years to go through everything that I’ve gone through having a front, I’m proud of myself.”
Simone glitters and is all gold in GOAT necklace featuring 546 diamonds
According to a post from the jewler, Biles commissioned the three-dimensional piece adorned with 546 diamonds.
In the moments just before their medals were announced, video showed the two gymnasts waiting with bated breath in a nearly silent stadium.
As their results appeared, the crowd applauded, and Lee shook the American flag. Biles was the first to take to the floor before being quickly joined by her teammate. The two celebrated as their lively audience clapped and shouted from the stadium.
Simone Biles is back on top, summits the top of the podium for medal ceremony
The 27-year-old stood next Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade, who won silver, and her fellow U.S. gymnastics teammate Suni Lee, who took home a bronze medal.
The gymnast took home the individual all-around gold medal for the second time in her Olympic career. Her win is the first time an American gymnast has won two golds for the all-around final.
