Simone Biles has made a triumphant return to the Olympics, showcasing her unparalleled gymnastic skills and breaking new ground in the sport. After withdrawing due to the “twisties” in Tokyo, Biles returned with a vengeance, landing her signature moves and even debuting the Yurchenko double-pike on the vault, becoming the first woman to do so at the Olympics.
Biles dominated her qualifying session, setting high scores on the floor and vault and firmly establishing herself as a favourite for gold. Despite concerns over a slight limp and missing out on a planned unique skill on the uneven bars, Biles proved that she was back and better than ever.
With a star-studded American team at her side, Biles is on track to make history as the oldest American woman to win an Olympic gold in gymnastics and add to her seven Olympic medals. As the world watches in awe, Biles’s journey to further greatness has only just begun.
