According to NBC Sports, Simone Biles and Sunisa Lee, two members of Team USA's gold-medal winning team in the women's team all-around final, are poised to make history once again in the upcoming individual all-around final. The event is set to take place on Thursday, with Biles finishing first overall in qualifications and Lee finishing third.
The individual all-around final marks a significant moment for Team USA, as it offers the opportunity for the country to add to its impressive medal haul. The American women have won seven Olympic all-around gold medals, with this being the sixth consecutive gold. NBC Sports reports that Simone Biles has already etched her name in the record books... becoming the most decorated gymnast (man or woman) after winning gold in the team final earlier this week.
Her nine career Olympic medals solidify her position as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. The all-around final will air on primetime on the 2024 Paris Olympics, starting at 8pm ET → PT. Fans of gymnastics can tune in to witness these talented athletes in action, "as they strive to make history and take home the gold." As a side note, NBC Sports also mentioned that Simone Biles has a special connection to the TV show "The Golden Girls," which is why she has dubbed the women's team "Golden Girls." The nickname is a nod to the fact that the U. S. team is the oldest ever to win a team all-around final... making this a truly historic moment for the sport.
Reference: See hereThe two played an important role in Team USA's gold-medal performance earlier this week, in which they bested Italy and Brazil for the top spot on the podium alongside teammates Jordan Chiles , Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera . The victory prompted Biles to give the group two nicknames: 'F Around and Find Out' and 'Golden Girls.' The second name, the one Biles has dubbed the "real" one, is a reference to the show The Golden Girls because this U.S. team is the oldest ever to win a team all-around final.
