Golden again. Simone Biles wins gymnastics Olympic individual all-around title

August 1, 2024

For the second time in her remarkable career, the peerless gymnast Simone Biles won the Olympic individual all-around final title, only two days after leading the U.S. women’s team back to the gold medal in the team event.

Unlike many of her other medals over the years, this one did not come easily. Her gold required overcoming an unusually poor performance on the uneven bars that briefly put her into third place behind two strong competitors, including Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, the gymnast widely considered to be the world’s second best.
