Simone Biles opened up about her win at the Paris Olympics after nabbing her eighth Olympic gold. She said USA Today that the win was super exciting and she enjoyed it.

""It was super exciting. We had fun. We enjoyed each other's time out there, and we just did our gymnastics," Biles said.

She also opened up about the bond the women's gymnastics team shared with each other. She said:

"Even night, we were all having a little powwow − Chiles, Lee and I in the room, just talking about our age, what we're going through, how hard the Olympics is and all that stuff. I think it translates out of the gym, as well. And once we're good and close and tight knit outside, then you see what you saw tonight. It was pretty good. It was fun. And we supported each other."

Now, Biles and her team will be seen competing in the individual events finals at the Paris Olympics.
