Simone Biles made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics as she secured the Gold Medal in the women’s gymnastics individual all-around final. She also led Team USA to Gold two days prior. The 27-year-old gymnast is the first American to win the all-around gold twice — she previously won it 2016 Rio Olympics.

While Biles has dominated women’s gymnastics for years, the Paris Olympics have marked a comeback moment. in 2021, Biles  pulled out of several individual and team competitions in the Tokyo Olympics after suffering from the “twisties.”
