    Simone Biles achieved a remarkable feat by clinching her sixth Olympic gold medal in the all-around competition at the Paris Olympics, solidifying her status as a truly exceptional athlete.

    In a historic showdown at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Simone Biles and Suni Lee competed for the all-around gymnastics title, marking the first time that the previous two Olympic champions were pitted against each other. The American gymnasts have dominated the all-around competition for the past five Olympics, starting with Carly Patterson in 2004, Nastia Liukin in 2008, and Gabby Douglas in 2012. Biles claimed the gold in Rio in 2016, while Lee took the top spot at the 2020 Tokyo games.

    In a closely contested battle between Biles, Lee, and Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, Biles delivered a flawless floor routine to secure the victory and reclaim the title. Andrade took home the silver medal, with Lee finishing in third place to earn the bronze.

    Among the attendees in the stands on Thursday were Martha Stewart, Seth Rogen, Kendall Jenner, Stephen Curry, Tony Hawk, Tony Parker, and Bill Gates, joining the impressive lineup of A-list Hollywood and sports stars who have been seen at the artistic gymnastics competitions at Bercy Arena.

    Biles and Lee, along with their teammates Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Hezly Rivera, added to their gold medal count as part of Team USA’s “Golden Girls” squad. The crowd at the team final on Tuesday included notable figures such as Michael Phelps, Serena Williams, Spike Lee, Natalie Portman, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Jason Kelce, Kylie Kelce, Savannah Guthrie, and Hoda Kotb.
