Simone Biles and Suni Lee will represent the United States in the individual all-around final of the 2024 Paris Olympics and will set the record when they participate.

If Biles who was who was the Biles, who was the 2016 Olympic all-around champion and Lee who is who is the the 2020 Olympic All-around Champion will be on the same on the stage on August 1st, Thursday it could be the very first occasion that two Olympic all-around champions will be competing against one another at the Olympic all-around championship.

The following day, Biles and Lee finished as third and first respectively. Biles had a 59.566 and Lee came in with 56.132.

Lee secured her spot by performing her impressive bar routine, which earned her 14.866 and topped her teammates Jordan Chiles for the second spot for an individual all-around by only .067.

Chiles who placed fourth in the race with an average of 56.065 but will not be allowed to take part on the All-Round Final due the rule that permits just two competitors from each nation competing in all-around finals.

All-around gold medalist Suni Lee attended and displayed her skills, earning the chance to defend her gold medal. The three-time Olympic champion will participate at the balance beam and uneven bar finals along with her teammate Simone Biles.

Biles achieved a record-breaking performance in gymnastics for women despite suffering from a calf injury which made for an impressive debut.

In Biles’ 30-second warmup prior to her floor routine she was caught on camera saying to her trainer “uh Oh, that’s not great,” after prepping her signature technique, “the Biles,” for her floor routine.

Biles trainer, Cecile Landi, claimed that the gymnast “felt some discomfort in her calf”while warming up on the floor. Landi claimed there were no plans at present for Biles to pull out of any competitions, or to alter her routine and added that she didn’t worry about her performance in the future.

The pain did not dissuade Biles who is widely regarded as the best gymnast of all time.

The U.S. women’s gymnastics team secured their place in the team competition by finishing first after the first two divisions with 172.296. 172.296.
