Simone Biles led the U.S. women's gymnastics team to a gold medal in the team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This victory marks a significant comeback for the team, which finished runner-up to Russia in 2021. The U.S. team's total score of 171.296 points surpassed Italy and Brazil, who took silver and bronze, respectively. This win also makes Biles the most decorated American gymnast in history, with eight Olympic medals, including five golds. The team, comprising Simone Biles, Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera, delivered solid performances across all events, with Biles' leadership playing a crucial role in their success. This achievement is part of what has been dubbed their 'redemption tour.' Additionally, Biles is now the oldest female Olympic champion in any gymnastics event since 1964.
