An Olympic icon and iconic star headlined the gymnastics competition at the Paris Summer Olympics on Saturday during the men’s and women’s apparatus. And everyone came away with awards.
Simone Biles finished first in the women’s singles on Saturday, winning her seventh Olympic gold medal overall and third of the Paris Olympics. Teammate Jade Carey won bronze, giving the US two spots on the podium. Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade earned silver for her performance.
Meanwhile, Stephen Nedoroscik, AKA “pommel horse guy,” won bronze in his signature event after winning bronze in the team event earlier this week. Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan took gold with 15.533, followed by Kazakhstan’s Nariman Kurbanov with 15.433 for silver.
With her seventh gold medal, Biles added to her case as the greatest Olympian of all time. Earlier in the Olympics in Paris, he led Team USA to the gold medal in the team competition and won the second individual gold medal. She is the oldest woman to take the overall and only the third winner twice.
