Simone Biles Cierra los Juegos Olímpicos 2024 con Cuatro Medallas: “He Logrado Más de lo que Jamás Imaginé” 🌟🏅 ¡Descubre Todos los Detalles!
Biles finished out her Paris Olympics with a silver medal in the individual floor exercise and fifth place finish in the balance beam
Simone Biles is leaving Paris having made herself proud — and having set a few records.
The athlete, already the most decorated gymnast of all time, finished out the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning her fourth medal of the Games, a silver in the women’s artistic gymnastics individual floor routine on Aug. 5.
In a press conference after the event, Biles, 27, told reporters she was immensely proud of her performance, especially considering the difficult road she’d had in getting herself back into competition shape.
“I’ve accomplished way more than my wildest dreams, not just as this Olympics, but in this sport,” she said. “I can’t be mad at my performances. A couple of years ago I didn’t think I’d be back here at an Olympic game.”
Biles was forced to bow out of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after she was struck with a bout of the dreaded “twisties,” which made it difficult for her to safely perform her highly technical flips.

“Competing and then walking away with four medals, I’m not mad about it,” she said of her comeback. “I’m pretty proud of myself, and it’s always so exciting to compete.”

She also competed in the women’s individual balance beam final on Monday, but landed in fifth place with a 13.100 score after falling.
The athlete started her Summer Games with a gold in the team event alongside Suni Lee, Hezly Rivera, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles. Then, in the individual all-around, Biles also took gold. She is the oldest gymnast to ever win the all-around.
On Aug. 3, she won her third gold medal of these Games after earning a 15.300 on the vault.
Overall, Biles has now won 11 Olympic medals. She’s won 30 world championship medals, and is the most decorated gymnast of all time.

Earlier in these Games, Biles was subtly asked if she’d be returning for the next Summer Olympics in four years, which will take place in Los Angeles.
During a press conference at Bercy Arena after the vault final, a reporter questioned, “Is this the last time we’re going to see you vaulting in competition?”
“This is my last, definitely Yurchenko double pike [vault]. I mean I kind of nailed that one. So never say never,” said Biles in response. “The home Games — the next Olympics is at home, so you just never know. But I am getting really old.”
