Simone Biles Most Medals Gymnast in US History

Simone Biles has regained her place on the artistic gymnastics Olympic throne in Paris. The American, who arrived in cotton wool for the Paris event at the Bercy Arena after injuring her left calf while warming up for the floor exercise during Sunday’s qualification, once again reminded everyone why she is the most successful gymnast of all time with 38 medals between the Olympic Games and World Championships.

The American claimed her eighth Olympic medal, her fifth gold, with a stellar performance full of pirouettes and maximum precision. Simone Biles, the standard-bearer of the fight for the mental health of high-level athletes after suffering a crisis in Tokyo 2020 that forced her to stay away from the gym for two years, nailed a perfect exercise when her team needed it most to win gold.

After the performances by Hezly Rivera, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Sunisa Lee, and Jade Carey, the gold was in Italy’s hands. It all depended on Simone Biles and how she would be able to bring her talent to the Paris Arena and withstand the pressure. The response, filled with a smile from ear to ear between impossible jumps and pirouettes, was a lot of emotional gold.

The Queen returns in style.

The Americans dominated from the first rotation, when they started with the vault, and Biles exerted her leadership to distance herself 44.100 from China and Italy. Second, it was time for the uneven bars, the only wall where Biles, individually, has not yet been able to bag the gold. It was not an easy afternoon for the United States or for Biles herself, who, on the balance beam, came close to failing after witnessing Jordan Chiles almost make a mistake.

With everything open for the finale after Lee and Chiles’ performances, it was time for the floor, which Biles largely dominated. The American prodigious athlete’s performance was the best of the afternoon (14.666). The United States won gold on Biles’ big day, while Italy took silver and Brazil beat Great Britain.

China was lucky. The reaction at the Bercy Arena in Paris was one of bewilderment and joyThe Queen, who had been through such a bad time, ended up smiling on the court while the American flag embraced her and the rest of her teammates.

The fact is that the American, at 27 years old and in full maturity, could add up to five more medals in the individual all-around competition on Thursday and in the finals on August 3, 4, and 5. Simone Biles has five moves of her own and hopes to add to her legend on the uneven bars in Paris, the only apparatus she has marked in red.
