Biles’ winning week began when she and her Team USA teammates – Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera and Jordan Chiles – won gold in the women’s team competition on Tuesday, July 30. Thursday marked Biles’ second gold medal in the 2024 Olympics, while Lee, 21, won bronze. Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade took home the silver medal. Biles maintained a prominent lead throughout Thursday’s event, tailed closely by Andrade, 25. After initially falling behind, Lee managed to pull through with a strong floor routine. Biles secured her victory in the same skill, marking the last performance of the event. With her latest victories, Biles extends her lead as the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympics history, overtaking Shannon Miller. “I am so happy. My heart is full because I know, as an athlete, what it takes to win a gold medal, and these ladies have been through it all on the road to get here,” Miller, 47, told NBC News after Team USA won gold in the women’s gymnastics team final on Tuesday
