It was a legendary performance! Last Thursday, spectators at theArena Bercy in Paris experienced a great sporting moment during the all-around gymnastics final of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. A competition that was of course won by American gymnast Simone Biles, after an impressive performance on floor. The final passage of the event. This performance enabled the athlete to finish top of the ranking with a total of 59.131 points. She was ahead of Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade (57.932) and fellow American Sunisa Lee (56.465).

Simone Biles wins her second gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics
Simone Biles regained her Olympic title in the individual all-around. She also took the opportunity to reclaim her title from her compatriot Sunisa Lee. She had taken advantage of her absence to win the title in Japan. The latter, suffering from two kidney ailments, had to settle for third place this time. Which was more than enough to keep her happy! ” I didn’t even think I’d make it onto the podium,” she told the press conference. The presentation of medals by the President of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, immortalized the moment with a selfie of the 3 winners.
Pictured here is the smiling Rebeca Andrade, whose performance deserved more than a silver medal. It was Andrade who kept the suspense of the final alive right to the end. She is now considered Simone Biles’ most formidable rival. Rebeca Andrade also justified her reputation, losing by the paltry margin of just 1.199 points. More than ever, Simone Biles continues to make history!
