Simone

With a four-apparatus total of 59.131 points, the 27-year-old joined legends Larisa Latynina (URS) and Vera Caslavska (TCH) Thursday as the only women to capture two Olympic titles in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics.

… silver medallist Rebeca Andrade (BRA) and bronze medallist Sunisa Lee (USA) …

… Andrade gave her a run for her money. She lead after two apparatus and finished only 1.199 points behind Biles — the smallest margin of any of Biles’s World or Olympic or All-Around victories since 2015.

A second Olympic all-around title for Simone Biles was the outcome of a thrilling night at the Bercy Arena 📰#Paris2024 | #Gymnastics https://t.co/faqYW7HpU8

Quickest and easiest way to see who’s competing Olympics 2024 is through a series of infographics.
