Biles swept five medals in the all-around, team, vault and floor exercise at the 2016 Rio Olympics. After her debut Olympics turned out to be a success, she entered the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as a heavy gold medal favorite. However, ‘twisties’ forced her to withdraw from the event without any gold.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Biles anchored the US team to the top finish in the team finals, earning 171.296. She further extended her gold medal tally by winning the all-around title with 59.131. Witnessing Biles’ monumental win, the crowd inside the Bercy Arena, including some of the most popular faces on earth like Jenner, Curry and Durant, erupted in cheers.

Meanwhile, Steph Curry, the US professional basketball player and Golden State Warriors’ point guard, was seen cheering on Biles during the all-around finals rotation 1.

In another X post, a fan posted a conversation with Phoenix Suns’ basketball legend Kevin Durant, who envied Biles’ calf muscles and wished to gain that in the gym soon.

“That was nice. It’s the first time I’m seeing her live. I wish I had that kind of muscle in my calves. Im going to have to get in the gym for that,” said Durant. (as quoted by a gymnastic fan)

Several celebrities like Ariana Grande, Snoop Dogg and Serena Williams, among others, were also spotted in the audience in the past days.

Biles became the first woman to become two-time Olympic all-around champion after Vera Caslavska did it in 1964 and 1968.
