Breaking News: Simone Biles clinches gold in Paris, makes Olympic history with second individual all-around victory…

Simone Biles made history, winning the gold in the individual all-around final at the 2024 Paris Summer Games on Thursday to become just the third woman after Larisa Latynina in 1956 and 1960, and Věra Čáslavská in 1964 and 1968 to win the women’s individual all-around twice.

Biles started strong with a massive 15.766 on vault, but made a mistake on uneven bars that briefly put her in second place behind Andrade. Biles then bounced back on beam and put up a massive performance on floor to win her second all-around gold medal.

Andrade was solid in every event, putting up particularly high scores on vault and floor to propel her to her second-straight all-around Olympic silver after taking silver in Tokyo.

Lee, meanwhile, had decent scores on vault and beam, but put up huge routines on bars — leading the field with 14.866 — and floor to secure an Olympic all-around medal for the second-straight Olympics.

Lee, who overcame kidney issues in the gap between games to appear in Paris, is the first former gold medalist to make it back to the podium since Nadia Comaneci in 1980.

Biles, the 2016 all-around Olympic gold medalist, becomes the first woman to win non-consecutive Olympic gold medals in the event.
