Just two days after taking home the gold in the team event final at the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles and Suni Lee competed in the individual women’s gymnastics all-around on Thursday and, wouldn’t ya know! Biles, who won gold in 2016 in Rio, and Lee, who won gold in Tokyo in 2021, both made it to the podium, with Biles (further) cementing her place as the GOAT by winning gold, and Lee taking the bronze. This marks the sixth consecutive Olympics where the U.S. has won gold in the individual all-around, in no small part thanks to these two. Biles is also the first American gymnast to win gold in the individual all-around final twice, and the third gymnast ever (after Larisa Latynina in 1956 and 1960, and Věra Čáslavská in 1964 and 1968) to do so.
Suddenly, I love living through history!
I can’t remember the last time we lived through a major historical event or unprecedented time that didn’t make me pray for an asteroid to hit Earth. But right now, the only asteroid I want hitting Earth is one with Biles and Lee’s faces on it! Is this what patriotism feels like???
