    Simone Biles Goes Viral For Huge Honor At 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony

    Simone Biles had quite an impressive outing at the 2024 Summer Olympics, as she added three gold medals and one silver medal to her already impressive tally.

    While Biles' legacy was already secure prior to these Games, she may have just cemented herself as the greatest gymnast of all time with her performance at the 2024 Olympics.

    As a result, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Biles was bestowed a big honor at the closing ceremony on Sunday. With the Olympic flag being handed off to the city of Los Angeles, Biles ended up being the athlete who held the flag during this part of the ceremony, with the moment going viral on social media.

    This was a well-earned honor for Biles, as she put together quite a bounce-back performance after her struggles at the 2020 Olympics.

    It remains to be seen whether Biles will return for the 2028 Summer Olympics, but regardless of whether or not she does, she will be regarded as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.

    This was a fitting end to an outstanding Olympics for Biles, and fans will be hoping to see her back in action at some point in the near future.
