Simone Biles had a very relatable message to her fans after a night of enjoying herself with the rest of the United States athletes in Paris.
As the Olympic Games came to a close, the American athletes who elected to remain in France for the entirety of the games celebrated with the rest of the contingent in grand style. After the Closing Ceremony, Biles caught up with the rest of her peers at a local club, where it appeared the decorated gymnast might have partied a little too hard.
On Monday, Biles posted a handful of videos on her personal Instagram page of what had happened on the final night in Paris. The first clip shows a large group of people enjoying themselves, with a person holding a sign that reads "Simone Biles God 4 Life" in the background.

At the very bottom of the video, Biles wrote: "The reason I'm unwell this morning." In the next video, Biles wrote a very relatable caption as she continued to party in the club, warning her fans: "if you see me out at the club, [please] tell me to go home - for my own sake & health in the am."
To cap it all off, Biles wrote a very simple message on her Threads account , posting: "I'm never drinking again." For Biles to be celebrating her accomplishments and those of her compatriots makes sense considering the dominant display the Americans put on during the Olympic Games in Paris.
The United States won 40 gold, 44 silver and 42 bronze medals in 2024, bringing their total count to 126 medals. China came in second with 91 total medals, winning 40 gold, 27 silver and 24 bronze, tying the United States in gold medal count.
For Biles specifically, she won four total medals to add onto her already historic career: Three gold and one silver. The 27-year-old now has 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals, making her one of the most decorated gymnasts in history.
Her showing in Paris was the bounce back Biles needed after a difficult outing during the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, which were delayed until the following summer due to the Covid pandemic. After her mental health was affected by her experience in Tokyo, Biles created a room in her home in which she keeps all of her mementos from Japan locked away.
With her experience in Tokyo now a thing of the past after her impressive tally in Paris, Biles' has been the talk of games. That said, many fans were alarmed seeing the star wearing a medical boot on her left foot when she joined Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on stage to receive the Olympic flag.
Although fans were concerned about the injury, Biles gave an update and explained the boot was just a preventive measure. "The calf is good - it's just precautionary, making sure. Just a little bit of soreness," she said . "I feel like elite athletes are pretty tough so - through pain or pleasure - we're ready for whatever... but everything is good."
Additionally, Biles added how much better she feels about her performance in Paris. She said: "I can't be more proud of how I've done. I'm 27 years old walking away from this games with four medals to add to my collection. Not mad about it. I've accomplished way (more than I thought I would). A couple of years ago, I didn't think I'd be back here."
