Just in: Simone Biles Wins Her 7th Olympic Gold Medal in “Power Color” Red Leotard Featuring 3,600 Swarovski Crystals
On Saturday, Aug. 3, Biles completed her Olympics “redemption” tour during the artistic gymnastics women’s vault final—the same competition she withdrew from during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after experiencing a case of the “twisties.”
Biles scored a 15.700 on her first vault, after nailing a Yurchenko double pike vault—also known as the Biles II—and with a 6.400 difficulty rating.
On her second pass, she scored a 14.9 after landing a Cheng vault, giving her an average score of 15.3 and placing her atop the podium for the third time during this year’s Olympic Games.
While Biles has been collecting gold medals in Paris, she has also been continuing to show up as a mental health advocate while normalizing therapy, even while competing on the world stage.
