Biles, the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history, added another victory to her resumé with a gold medal in the women’s all-around final at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Thursday, Aug. 1. Her Team USA teammate Lee came in third with a bronze medal, just two days after the pair won gold in the team finals.

The match-up was a highly anticipated one, as Lee, 21, was the reigning gold medalist in the event from Tokyo in 2021 (Biles, 27, won the gold in Rio in 2016).

Biles started off strong on the vault, scoring an impressive 15.766. Though she struggled on the uneven bars, falling to third place after she flubbed her transition from the upper bar to the lower, Biles returned to form with a solid performance on the balance beam, and excelled on the floor to lead her way to victory.

Rebeca Andrade of Brazil, Biles' friend and close competitor, won the silver medal.

Stars like Kendall Jenner, Tony Hawk, Stephen Curry, Martha Stewart and Seth Rogen were all in attendance to cheer on the star gymnasts.

The victory comes two days after Biles, Lee and their teammates Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera dominated for gold in the team final.

Biles’ gold medal came with the support of her family, as husband Jonathan Owens and parents Nellie and Ronald Biles were in the crowd at Bercy Arena to cheer her on.

The superstar gymnast made history on Tuesday night, as her gold teams medal officially made her the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history, with eight medals to her name. The win pushed her past American gymnast Shannon Miller, who earned seven medals over the 1992 Barcelona and 1996 Atlanta Games.

It also marked a personal comeback victory for Biles, who was forced to bow out of the Tokyo Olympics three years ago after she was struck with the twisties, a phenomenon in which a mental block prevents a gymnast from being able to safely land highly technical flips.

"After I finished vault, I was relieved. I was like, ‘Phew,’ because [there were] no flashbacks or anything," she told reporters on Tuesday about the team final. "I did feel a lot of relief, and as soon as I landed vault, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m definitely — we’re going to do this.' "

Thursday’s new hardware marked Biles’ 39th medal between the Olympics and World Championships, for which she holds the all-time record among both male and female gymnasts.

Still, she brushed aside the importance of records and statistics at a press conference on Tuesday, saying she would have “had to Google” the news that she’d broken Miller’s record.

“I don’t keep count, I don’t keep stats,” she said. “I just go out here and do what I’m supposed to and I’m doing what I love and enjoying it, so that’s really all that matters to me.”

She continued, “Yes, it’s amazing, now that I hear it, but I don’t think I’ll truly understand the depth of it until I walk away from the sport.”
