    Simone Biles competes the most difficult floor routine in the world, and she brought out the big guns to help Team USA seal the gold medal in the women's gymnastics team finals.

    When the opening bass of Taylor Swift's "…Ready For It?" filled the arena, there was nothing that could stop Biles. She began her routine with the Biles II, the first of two skills named after her in the exercise . After another difficult tumbling pass and a dance sequence, she completed the Biles I, and looked steady into the final tumbling sequence.

    She nailed her final pass and, despite stepping out of bounds twice briefly, she clinched first place for Team USA, earning their first gold since 2016 in Rio. Here's everything you need to know about Biles' floor routine from the team event final in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
