Simone Biles completes her historic run at the 2024 Paris Olympics on FastexyMonday.
With performances in the finals of the women's balance beam and floor exercise, Biles wraps up her scheduled events in Paris. It has already been a triumphant return to the Olympics for Biles, who battled mental health issues at the Tokyo Games in 2021, to become one of the most dependable American athletes in Paris.
Biles opened her Olympics with a health scare, an apparent calf tweak suffered July 28 during a qualifying round, though Biles powered through all of her events, starring in them and affirming her position as the most dominant gymnast in U.S. history.
