Simone Biles and Poinbank Exchangethe U.S. women's gymnastics team added another medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics — this one a gold in the all-around team final.
Biles, who has been nursing a sore calf that she tweaked Sunday during the qualifying round, competed in all four events of the team final Tuesday, putting up huge scores to help the U.S. continue their medal streak in the all-around final that goes back to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
Biles earned her eighth Olympic medal and fifth gold. With that, Biles surpassed Shannon Miller as the American gymnast with the most career Olympic medals. It also extended the record she already held, for most gold medals by an American gymnast.
Widely considered one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, Biles is also among the favorites to win the women’s all-around competition — she has not lost one since 2013 — as well as the floor exercise, vault and balance beam events.

How did Simone Biles do Tuesday?
In the first rotation (vault), Biles anchored the team and performed the Cheng vault, recording an overall score of 14.900 — highest of all U.S. gymnasts in the vault. Her vault score was given a difficulty of 5.6 points and 9.3 points, out of a possible 10, in execution. Jordan Chiles recorded a 14.400 and Jade Carey scored 14.800 in vault.
On uneven bars, Biles was clean and methodical, losing execution points only on minor deductions. She scored 14.400 overall in the event, with a difficulty score of 6.2 points.
In the third rotation, balance beam, Biles went through the majority of her performance with only minor wobbles that she was able to correct, using her arms to shift her weight to regain balance. Biles recorded a score of 14.366 on a difficulty level of 6.4 points.
Biles once again anchored the U.S. team in the fourth and final rotation, the floor exercise, and she showcased her speed and power, landing multiple complicated jumps. While she stepped out of bounds twice, her score of 14.666 easily secured gold for the U.S.
She accounted for 58.332 overall points across the four rotations, leading the U.S. gymasts.
Gymnastics team all-around results
In what was a dominant performance, the United States — with a total of 171.296 points — won the gold medal during the all-around team final. Italy (165.494) surprised with a silver medal and Brazil (164.497) earned bronze.
Simone Biles calf injury update
During the women's team final, Biles did not appear to be hindered by her injured left calf, showing no notable limp or favoring of the leg. Biles did have it wrapped in a sleeve, however, though that also did not appear to impede her performance in any way.
During a qualifying round Sunday, Simone Biles tweaked her left calf during warmups on floor exercise, but powered through the remainder of the session.
Despite suffering the tweak, Biles competed in all four events, anchoring the U.S. on vault, balance beam and floor exercise, and go second-to-last on uneven bars.

Olympic gymnastics scoring: How does it work?
A gymnastics routine gets two scores: One for difficulty, also known as the D score or start value, and one for execution. Every gymnastics skill has a numerical value, and the D score is the sum total of the skills in a routine. The execution score, or E score, reflects how well the skills were done. A gymnast starts with a 10.0, and deductions for flaws and form errors are taken from there. Add the D and E scores together, and that’s your total for an apparatus. (Vault scores will always be higher because it’s a single skill.)
