Simone Biles and Team USA made it back to a familiar place: atop the Olympic podium. Biles powered a dominant U.S. women's team in the finals inside a loudly-filled Bercy Arena in Paris on Tuesday night. The Americans' total of 171.296 was well ahead of Italy and Brazil by over five points. With Biles at her show-stopping best, she cemented her legacy as the greatest ever in her sport, and among the best in the history of the Olympics by becoming the most decorated U.S.
That's never really been the point anyway, just a byproduct of her unparalleled excellence. It was about a joy she had lost somewhere along the way. It seems to have returned. She leaned into the crowd that roared at every flip, every leap and, yes, every twist. With her husband waving an American flag and counting scores while sitting next to her parents, Biles did what she has done so well for so long save for a couple of difficult days in Japan during a pandemic: she dominated.
