The win came in a gym packed with A-list celebrities as the team recaptured in Paris what they couldn’t achieve in Tokyo three years ago.
After Simone Biles’s struggles led to silver in 2021, the Americans sought redemption, and found it with a rock-solid performance in Paris on Tuesday.

Gold medalists Simone Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee and Hezly Rivera of Team United States celebrate on the podium during the medal ceremony.On beam, Biles delivered, with a mostly solid routine. She had to fight to control her wolf turn, which is when she spins on one foot in a squatted position, but she stayed on the apparatus without a major break.
