    USA gymnasts Simone Biles and Suni Lee put on quite a show at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Both left with multiple medals, and the duo made history as the only Americans to ever win multiple Olympic medals in the all-around final.

    Biles won gold in the event in both Paris and the 2016 Rio Olympics, while Lee won bronze in Paris and gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

    While the 21-year-old already knew of her and her Biles’ historic accomplishment, that didn’t stop her from being moved to tears after seeing it again on social media.

    Lee reposted an Inside Gymnastics Instagram post on her story with two crying emojis signifying her gratitude to make history with the greatest women’s gymnast of all time.

    Biles also made history of her own, becoming the only gymnast to win gold in the the all-around final in non-consecutive Olympic Games and just the third woman to win gold in the all-around final twice.

    With the trio of medals she won in Paris — gold in team final, bronze in all-around final and uneven bars — Lee now has six total Olympic medals to her name.

    Conversely, Biles on four medals in Paris — gold in team, all-around and vault plus silver in the floor exercise — bringing her career medal count to 11. She’s just two medals away from tying Russia’s Larisa Latynina’s record for the most Olympic gold medals in gymnastics history.
