Simone Biles is an artistic Gymnast in America. She won nine Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals, which make her a gymnastics legend. Due to her medals, she is ranked the most decorated female gymnast. She is the only one who won most of the medals for the United States.

Biles was honored with the Laureus World Sports Award for her comeback. This was her fourth award in April 2024. In July 2024, she was honoured with the “Best Comeback Athlete Award.” Simone is the fourth female gymnast in America to participate in three Olympic Games.

Simone Biles All-Around Champion

During one of the most exciting finals of these Paris Olympic medals, Simone Biles once more won the gold medal in gymnastics individual all-around. Teammate Suni Lee won bronze, while talented Brazilian Rebeca Andrade received silver once more. Biles overcame a strong attack from Andrade.

Additionally, Biles is the oldest female athlete to win the most important title in her field since Soviet Union's Maria Gorokhovskaya, aged 30 years old, took the initial Olympic all-around in Melbourne in 1952.

Except for Biles, Andrade's overall score from Sunday's qualifying round in Paris, which was 57.700, is the highest record-breaking attempt by a female competitor this year. It also comfortably exceeds Lee's qualifying mark of 56.132.

With Andrade right on her tail, Biles' victory margin over her was barely over a point—the equivalent of a fall. However, she reported experiencing previously uncommon levels of tension.
