Simone Biles, no doubt one of the greatest gymnasts in history, has led the US team to a likely spot in the finals at the Women’s Team All-Around qualifiers at the Paris Games, despite suffering a calf injury during floor warm-ups.
Dressed the part, Biles wore a shimmering grey leotard adorned with sparkling crystals. As she stepped onto the vault, she unleashed her modified version of the notoriously challenging “Yurchenko double pike” with precision and grace, showcasing her unparalleled skill and athleticism.
When the competition came to a close, Biles stood tall at the top of her group’s leaderboard, boasting an impressive score of 59.566, advancing her to the finals alongside Suni Lee, both set to face off in five finals, including individual all-around and team finals.
Biles performed her challenging routine to Taylor Swift’s “Ready for It?” with original moves, cheered on by celebrities like Ariana Grande, Sean White, Nina Dobrev, Jessica Chastain, Tom Cruise, and Snoop Dogg. All in all, it’s clear that Biles, without a doubt, has captivated the world’s attention, and rightfully so.
