Simone Biles is (check notes) 27 years old. There’s no way in heck that you’d call her “old.”

But with her incredible, dramatic win in the women’s individual all-around at the 2024 Paris Olympics in gymnastics, she became … old.

By winning the women’s all around at the ancient age of 27 (I know, it’s gymnastics, there aren’t many competitors her age, it’s a younger person’s sport etc etc), she became the oldest to win the individual all-around title in … 72 years!! Fun fact: Maria Gorokhovskaya won the gold in 1952 in Helsinki when she was 30.

So there you go. That should make you or Biles or both feel old.
