The Paris Olympics has generated significant excitement for Team USA’s women’s gymnastics team, with much of the anticipation centered on Simone Biles. Currently, in her redemption arc, Biles aims to reclaim the glory she missed at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
The hype was justified when the Olympian showcased her talent during the Women’s Qualification—Subdivision 2 Rotation 2. Determined to demonstrate her competitive form, Biles chose Taylor Swift’s “…Ready for It?” as her intro song.
With Team USA performing last in rotation 2, the pressure was on Biles to finish the event strong. As the crowd fell silent, Biles began her routine, perfectly timing her movements to the music.
She immediately displayed her prowess with a series of flips, followed by multiple mid-air spins that landed cleanly in the floor’s corner. This was a dangerous move on her part, but with an Olympic gold medal on the line, the 27-year-old embraced the challenge.
After a sequence of moves, she executed a wolf spin, eliciting enthusiastic cheers from the crowd! Biles demonstrated her dominance by scoring 14.600 points, surpassing her teammates Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey.
