Simone Biles News: U.S. Gymnast Completes Paris Olympics “Redemption Tour” With Four Medals

Simone Biles is leaving the Paris Olympics with three gold medals and one silver, making her an 11-time Olympic medalist and the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history.

After largely withdrawing from the Tokyo Games in 2020, Biles has bounced back, referring to her performance in this year’s Summer Olympics as her “redemption tour.” The 27-year-old gymnast took home the gold in the individual and team all-arounds, as well as the vault, during which she landed her signature double pike. Although Biles stumbled in the balance beam rotation and missed the podium, she ended competition with a silver medal for her floor routine.

“Obviously, it wasn’t my best performance, but at the end of the day, whoever medaled, medaled, and that’s what’s so exciting, because you just never know, it’s gymnastics,” Biles said after her final performance. “I’ve accomplished way more than my wildest dreams, not just at this Olympics, but in the sport, so I can’t be mad at my performances.

A couple years ago, I didn’t think I’d be back here at an Olympic Games, so competing and then walking away with four medals… I’m pretty proud of myself.”

While it was previously assumed that she would retire after the Paris Olympics, Biles isn’t ruling out competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. After winning the gold in the vault, Biles said, “Never say never.”
