Simone Biles looks sharp and relaxed in practice

American gymnast Simone BilesThe most decorated man or woman her sport has ever seen has made it no secret that she wants redemption at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

„It was definitely our recovery trip,” Biles said at the recent U.S. Olympic Trials. „I feel like we all have more to give … I feel like we have a lot of weight on our shoulders to go out and prove that we’re better athletes, we’re more mature, we’re smarter. More consistent.”

On Tuesday (July 23) in the French capital, Biles and Team USA took a step toward showing the world and reclaiming the Olympic team title that she has built on confidence and sharp training.

The American team arrived nearly 30 minutes before the start of their workout, wearing blue and black warm-up jackets and black tights, waiting to begin their official practice.

As the afternoon hit, the focus increased, but there were still moments from Biles, who often shared a laugh with teammates. Jordan Chiles Or Jade Carey. At one point during her balance beam workout, Biles stood on the apparatus to look at Algeria’s uneven bars. Kayleigh Nemour, World silver medalist in this event and multiple medalist in Paris.

„Come!” Biles cheered when Namor performed.

Throughout the four events, Biles looked very solid with very little trouble in the opening sequence, the only part of any concern in her balance beam routine.

A six-time world champion and Rio 2016 gold medallist, her floor exercise was the highlight of the session. As her Taylor Swift music blared through the Le Bourget Exhibition Center rehearsal hall, Biles matched the grandeur of the music with a stunning triple-twisting double backflip.
