Simone Biles Leads U.S. to Women’s Gymnastics Team Gold

Posted : 30 July 2024

On Tuesday, Simone Biles led the United States to a commanding victory in the women's gymnastics team final, securing her fifth career Olympic gold medal and overcoming the challenges she faced in Tokyo. Three years ago, Biles had to withdraw from the team final in Tokyo due to a mental block, and the United States settled for silver. This time, she and her teammates—Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Sunisa Lee—delivered a flawless performance from start to finish, reclaiming the gold medal ahead of Italy and Brazil, who took silver and bronze, respectively.

 

The American team's dominance was evident as they delivered the highest scores on all four apparatus, amassing a total of 171.296 points and finishing with a significant 5.802-point lead over Italy. Biles captivated the audience at the Bercy Arena with her spectacular floor routine, featuring her trademark skills, including a double backflip with a half twist and the impressive "triple-double" routine, showcasing her unparalleled talent and skill.

 

Italy, which had previously won silver in 1928, achieved its best result in modern times with this silver medal, while Brazil, led by Tokyo vault gold medalist Rebeca Andrade, secured their first Olympic team medal. The U.S. team’s victory marks their third team gold in four Olympic Games, having previously won in 2012 and 2016. This win was particularly meaningful for Biles and her teammates, all of whom were present in Tokyo and have since overcome various personal challenges.

 

The final saw prominent figures such as Serena Williams, Nicole Kidman, and French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal in attendance, adding to the event's significance. Biles, who opted for a less difficult vault but delivered an impressive performance, helped the U.S. build a commanding lead from the start.

 

Despite a minor setback with a fall from Chiles on the balance beam, the team's strong performances, particularly by Lee and Biles, ensured their lead remained secure as they concluded their campaign with a dazzling floor exercise. Biles is set to compete again on Thursday in the women’s all-around final, continuing her pursuit of Olympic excellence.
