Paris 2024: Biles Leads US to Victory, Wins Fifth Olympic Gold
Simone Biles has been hailed as “the best she’s ever been” by her former teammate, Aly Raisman, after leading the United States to victory in the women’s team gymnastics event at Paris 2024.
Biles’ fifth Olympic gold medal comes after a triumphant return to the sport, following her withdrawal from several events at Tokyo 2020 to prioritize her mental and physical health.
Raisman, a three-time Olympic champion and teammate of Biles’ in the 2016 team event, expressed her admiration for Biles’ incredible form. “I’ve been blown away by her,” Raisman said in an interview with Sport Today’s Adam Samuel.
Biles’ victory in the All-Around Team final marks a remarkable comeback for the American gymnast, cementing her status as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.
The US women’s team, including Biles, is “changing gymnastics,” according to Raisman, with their impressive performance and dedication to the sport.
Biles celebrated her gold medal on the podium at the Bercy Arena in Paris, France, on July 30, 2024, marking a triumphant moment in her illustrious career.
