After withdrawing from the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, Simone returned with a vengeance to Paris. She lived up to the hype and proved that she is not only the GOAT but a team player who knows the importance of working together.
The Americans led in the all-around competition from the beginning, and the women clearly wanted the gold. Event after event, the stars and stripes shined, and Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Simone Biles, Jade Carey, and Suni Lee dominated the competition. The Americans finished ahead of the Italians by nearly six points, and Brazil came in third.
