After leading her team to victory, Simone Biles took center stage to celebrate their gold medal win at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday. The USA gymnastics team clinched the top spot, triumphing over Brazil and Italy.

To share their excitement, Biles and her teammates took to TikTok, showcasing their new medals with a fun video.

In the backstage clip, Biles, along with teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Hezly Rivera, playfully “biting” their gold medals.

The video was accompanied by a cheeky soundbite and the caption “TASTE GOLDEN.”

Biles also added a touch of personal flair with a heart emoji sequence. Lee joined in the fun with her own video, featuring a memorable Kanye West soundbite from the 47th Grammy Awards.

The clip showed Lee and Chiles lip-syncing before revealing the team’s medals, ending with the line “I guess we’ll never know” and a beat drop.

Despite the festive mood, fans noticed Jade Carey was missing from the celebratory videos. When asked about her absence, Biles humorously responded that Carey had gone to the bathroom and hadn’t been seen since.

The team, dubbed the “Redemption Tour,” was composed of athletes who had personal reasons for returning to the Games.

This marked Biles’ triumphant return to the top of the podium after her gold medal win in Rio eight years ago.

Now 27 and married, Biles was joined by Carey, Chiles, Lee, and Rivera, each adding their own strength to the team.

A Year of Excellence

With Biles at her peak, the American team’s score of 171.296 was far ahead of Italy and Brazil.

This victory highlighted Biles’ dominance in gymnastics, reaffirming her status as the greatest in the sport’s history.

Chiles, who previously earned silver in Tokyo, added gold to her collection. Despite facing injuries earlier this year, Chiles performed impressively, beginning the night with a flawless vault.

Biles’ Legacy

Over two hours in front of a star-studded crowd, including Serena Williams and Natalie Portman, Biles solidified her legacy.

She has now amassed 38 medals in major international competitions, surpassing Shannon Miller for the most Olympic medals by an American gymnast. Her return wasn’t just about winning but about rediscovering the joy she had previously lost.

Italy, the unexpected second-place finisher during qualifiers, secured silver, marking their first podium appearance since 1928.
