Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles lead United States to gold medal in Team Gymnastics final

Simone Biles and Team USA are bringing home the gold medal. Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey led the United States to the gold medal in the women’s Team Gymnastics final at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris on Tuesday.

Team USA earned its third Team Gymnastics gold medal at the Olympics and its first since 2016. The United States also won the gold in the 2012 Olympics. The US finished second at the 2020 Olympics, earning the silver medal.

Simone Biles clinched the top spot for the United States, performing an incredible floor routine to secure the gold. Biles put up a score of 14.666, to give the US a final team score of 171.296.

Italy finished second with a score of 165.494 to take home the silver medal, while Brazil earned the bronze with a score of 164.497.

The gold medal completes a remarkable redemption story for Biles, who had the “twisties” at the 2020 Summer Olympics and withdrew from competition.

The United States started off on the vault on Tuesday, earning a score of 44.110. Simone Biles had the highest vault score at 14.900.

From there, the US went to the bars. The team score on bars was 43.332. It was Suni Lee who led the way on bars, coming in with a score of 14.566.

The beam was the third rotation for the United States. Team USA came in with a score of 41.699 on the beam. Suni Lee once again led the way with a score of 14.600.

Finally, the United States finished with the floor, performing well in its fourth rotation to secure the gold medal.

Michael Phelps was in crowd cheering on Team USA, Simone Biles at Team Gymnastics final

Simone Biles not only had her husband, Chicago Bears defensive back Jonathan Owens, in attendance for Tuesday’s Team Gymnastics final at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, but a fellow GOAT was there supporting her and the team as well.

Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all-time with 28 medals to his name, was spotted in the stands cheering Biles on. Phelps was all smiles after Biles’ first rotation, in which she scored a 14.900 on the vault.

Like Phelps, Biles is certainly on the shortlist of the greatest Olympians of all-time. Biles entered the 2024 Summer Games as a seven-time medal winner, four of which are gold.

Biles added to her accomplishments with a gold in the Team Gymnastics Final on Tuesday, and she will look to add even more medals to her collection in the coming days.
