Simone Biles makes history

Simone Biles has solidified her status as the greatest gymnast of all time by winning her sixth Olympic gold medal in the women’s all-around final at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This victory, alongside her earlier team gold, brings her total Olympic medal count to nine, matching the record held by Nadia Comaneci. Biles's impressive performance, which included a stunning floor routine that showcased her exceptional skills, allowed her to surpass competitors like Brazil's Rebeca Andrade. At 27, she is the oldest female gymnast to win the all-around title since 1952, highlighting her longevity in the sport. With a total of 39 career medals across Olympics and world championships, Biles continues to raise the bar in gymnastics. Her comeback from mental health challenges during the Tokyo Olympics has been a significant part of her narrative, marking this achievement as a triumphant return to form.
