    First comes gold, then comes TikTok.

    After Team USA won gold in Tuesday’s women’s gymnastics all-around team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics , Simone Biles and Suni Lee excitedly planned their celebratory video content for the social media platform.

    In a heartwarming moment captured by NBC cameras , Biles, 27, was overheard telling her teammate that she wanted to do “chomping on the gold medals” as she moved her hand to mimic putting the medal in her mouth.

    Lee, 21, enthusiastically shot back, “OK! And I want to do the one that says, ‘Imagine what we would do if we didn’t win.’”

    Sure enough, both of their ideas made it to TikTok.

    Biles posted a video of herself with teammates Lee, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera as they pretended to eat their gold medals to a trending crunching sound.

    Meanwhile, Lee posted a video of the foursome lip-syncing to the audio, “Everybody want to know what I would do if I didn’t win. I guess we’ll never know.”

    During the second line, they held their gold medals up to the camera proudly.

    Jade Carey was also part of the winning team, but did not appear in the videos.

    Team USA beat out the competition with a 171.296 team score. Italy, who won the silver medal, scored 165.494, while Brazil took bronze with a score of 164.497.

    The women’s gymnastics team previously earned gold at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. They took home the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after Biles withdrew from the team competition due to the “twisties.”

    Biles has led Team USA to two all-around team gold medals in the past three Olympics. On Tuesday, she became the most decorated American gymnast with eight medals to her name.

    Biles previously called this year’s competition her “redemption tour” after pulling out in Tokyo to focus on her mental health.

    “I feel like we all have more to give and our Tokyo performances weren’t the best,” she said at the Olympic trials in Minneapolis in June.

    “We weren’t under the best circumstances, either, but I feel like we have a lot of weight on our shoulders to go out there and prove that we’re better athletes.”

    After Team USA’s big win Tuesday, Biles told reporters she felt “relieved” once she landed the vault.

    “I did feel a lot of relief, and as soon as I landed vault, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m definitely — we’re going to do this,'” she said.
