Simone Biles has done it again — she just won her FIFTH Olympic gold medal… and she did it all while about a dozen A-list celebrities cheered her on.
The GOAT Gymnastics — Next Door Suni Lee, Jordan peppers It is Jade Carey — took over the field inside the Bercy Arena on Tuesday afternoon in Paris… beating out Italy and Brazil for first place in the team final.
All of Serena Williams for Natalie Portman for Jason Kelce was inside the building to watch history happen… and at no point did Biles and the rest of Team USA disappoint.
Biles competed on all four exercises — vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor — and scored well on each. Lee, meanwhile, crushed her uneven bars routine — and Chiles and Carey were solid on their events, too.

During the competition, famous celebrities — which also included Biles’ NFL player husband, Jonathan Owens — could be seen going wild in the crowd. At one point, Nicole Kidman was shown on the NBC broadcast giving a thunderous ovation.

This is Biles’ eighth Olympic podium finish: she won four golds and a bronze at the 2016 Rio Games, and a silver and a bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
She’ll have plenty more opportunities to add to her trophy collection this week, too… she’s scheduled to compete in four more finals events in Paris — and she’s the favorite to win most, if not all, of them.
