    On Tuesday afternoon, Simone Biles and the USA women's gymnastics team secured a gold medal at the team final in the 2024 Paris Olympics with swimming legend Michael Phelps in attendance. This is Biles' first Olympic gold medal since the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

    Biles, alongside her teammates Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, and Jade Carey, dominated the competition, scoring a total of 171.296 points, nearly six points higher than the second-place Italy team.

    Biles carried the load on the way to gold for Team USA, recording a total individual score of 58.332. Her highest total came in rotation one, with a score of 14.900 in the vault. She also recorded a team-high of 14.666 in the floor exercise.
