Simone Biles, the renowned American gymnast, experienced discomfort in her left leg during the Olympic gymnastics qualifying round in Paris on Sunday. Despite the injury scare, which her coach Cecile Landi attributed to a minor calf issue that flared up during warmups, Biles continued to compete. She led the all-around standings and helped Team USA secure first place in the qualifiers. Biles's performance included nailing the Yurchenko double pike and qualifying for five finals. This marks her return to the Paris Olympics after battling the 'twisties' in Tokyo three years ago. Snoop was seen watching from the front row.
