Simone Biles hopes to win gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics and move on from her 2021 Tokyo Olympics withdrawal. She heads a stacked U.S. team in Paris after returning to form in the Olympic trials. When her calf strained, Olympic qualification appeared difficult, but she finished first in the all-around, vault, and floor and second on the beam. Set up for a dramatic finals conclusion, she has the right soundtrack to make her statement. Forbes says Biles "opens her routine with Swift’s “...Ready For It?” which transitions into “Delresto (Echoes)” by Travis Scott and Beyoncé." While Biles prepared for her floor exercise during the June Olympic trials, Swift tweeted her support. “Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho (clapping, gold medal, American flag, and red heart emojis)." Biles and Team USA will compete for gold in the team final on June 30 at 12:15 p.m. ET. She'll compete for gold in separate events throughout the week. What do you think of Simone Biles' performances so far?
