While Paris Olympics won’t end until Aug. 11, the gymnastics competition ends nearly a week earlier with finals on Monday.
Simone Biles will see gold medals in floor exercise and beam, adding to the three she’s already won at the Paris Olympics so far. In total, the 27-year-old gymnastics superstar has 10 Olympic medals after leading the US team to gold in the women’s final and taking the all-around and volume titles.
A top-3 finish in the floor exercise and balance beam would move her past Czechoslovakia’s Vera Caslavska (11) for the second most medals by a female gymnast in Olympic history behind Larisa Latynina, who had 18 in the 1950s and 60s for the Soviet Union.
In the balance beam, her toughest competition actually becomes a teammate Sunny Lee; the two have taken turns with the highest beam routine scores in competitions this year. Lee took bronze on uneven bars on Sunday to claim her sixth Olympic medal.
Simone Biles executed her eponymous Yurchenko double pike to win gold in the vault final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Finally, Biles will be challenged by Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade and USA teammate Jordan Chiles in the floor exercise. Biles won it in 2016 but withdrew from the event in Tokyo.
Another Team USA athlete, Jordan Chiles, will compete in the event with a fan-favorite routine set to Beyonce songs after she finished third in qualifying behind Biles and Andrade.
