Simone Biles and her team delivered a stellar performance on day 4 of the Paris Olympics, winning gold in the team all-around finals alongside Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, and Jade Carey. Their victory has captured the attention of renowned athletes and personalities such as Ronda Rousey, Sza, Lindsey Vonn, and more.

Team USA earned 171.296 points in the finals to secure the gold medal. They trounced Italy, which claimed second place with a six-point gap, and Brazil, which was in third position with a seven-point gap. Following the win, the gymnasts were seen celebrating their hearts out on the podium.

Biles shared a bunch of photos celebrating the special moment, where they were seen hugging each other and posing together with the American flag. The gymnast also took a subtle dig at MyKayla Skinner's statement by adding a caption related to the controversy where she claimed that the current gymnastics team lacked a 'work ethic'.

"Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions❤️🥇"

Multiple athletes and renowned faces commented on her post, congratulating her on the win. One of them was American professional wrestler and actress Ronda Rousey, who commented:

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.
