Simone Biles
Those are the best words to describe the performance from the united staes women’s gymnastics team during the qualification round at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Biles, now 27, is the most decorated gymnast in history and is considered the G.O.A.T of her sport meaning greatest of all time. Team USA finished Sunday’s qualification session with an impressive score of 172.296. Biles at one point crawled back from the vault and then hopped on her right leg toward the edge of the mat, where she told a teammate, “I am gonna need a wheelchair”. The gymnast was later seen using a foam roller off to the side of the floor.
But the injury did not seem to limit Biles come game time, as she performed an impressive vault routine. Simone Biles, the seven-time Olympic medalist who won all ground golds in Rio, started her turn to the games with a stellar routine on beam (14.733). However, while warming up on the floor exercise ahead of rotation two, biles appeared to hurt her lower leg. After being evaluated by medical staff, biles resumed competition while favoring her left leg.
The highest score any gymnast has earned in an international competition this Olympic cycle is ‘Biles’ who finished the competition at the top of the leaderboard in the all-around (59.566). Biles also finished in the no.1 spot on vault sits(15.300) and floor (14.600). Biles sits second on beam (14.733) and eighth on uneven bars (14.433). Women’s gymnastics coach Cesille Landi, an Olympian who competed for France in 1996, told reporters that Biles had tweaked her calf several weeks ago and was on the mend during the training that led up to the games.
Simone Biles’s coach revealed what happened to the star U.S. gymnast during her 2024 Olympic debut Sunday. Biles coach Cecile Landi said the gymnast “felt a little pain in her calf” while warming up on the floor. Biles’ coach also said the rules to withdraw from any competitors or change were no current plans for Biles to withdraw from competitors or change her routines and that she wasn’t concerned about her performance going forward.
