Simone Biles and Team USA have had a busy week, starting with their gold medal performance Tuesday in the women’s gymnastics team final. Biles then followed that up with her gold medal Thursday in the individual all-around.
Biles appeared to tweak her calf during warm-ups on the floor exercise during qualifiers Sunday but has not appeared to be hampered by the injury in either team or all-around finals. Biles, 27, has more Olympic medals than any American gymnast in history and will have more chances to add to her total in the event finals, where she will compete in the vault, balance beam and floor exercise.

Simone Biles and Team USA are not competing on Friday. The next women’s gymnastics event scheduled at the 2024 Paris Games is the vault final on Saturday, August 3. Biles, who is considered one the top vaulters in the world, will compete in the event and is a leading contender to win gold.
Simone Biles competed in the all-around final Thursday. She won her second gold medal of the Paris Games and her second career all-around gold after winning in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
