After a massive medal grab for Team USA in women’s gymnastics, the “Golden Girls” have not disappointed in what they call their redemption tour in Paris. Meanwhile, Simone Biles appears to be weighing competing in 2028. 'The next Olympics is at home so you just never know but I am getting really old,' she said.
Olympic Gymnastics is always chock-full of twists and turns, but Monday's floor final will go down as one of the most shocking in the sport's history. Jordan Chiles won her first individual Olympic medal, a bronze, but it appeared at first that she would finish off the podium. She originally placed fifth but submitted an inquiry to the judges and received a tenth back on her final score. Then she erupted in celebration. A skill in her routine called a Gogean, a split leap with a 1.
'I'm proud of each and every one of these girls, and especially myself,' she added. She won a gold medal with her American teammates in Tuesday's team final, as well as a team silver in Tokyo. A bronze completes her Olympic set. Chiles had some unstable landings throughout her Beyoncé-themed routine, losing a few tenths in execution, but had a strong showing overall. 'I was so nervous, I didn't know what to do,' Chiles said.
