Simone Biles set Paris alight with another electric display of her phenomenal showdown in the women’s gymnastics, both in individual and team events as she landed three golds and one silver. Impressed by her iconic showdown in Paris, American Sports TV personality Stephen A. Smith labelled her as the GOAT while unpicking her journey to the pinnacle, one performance at a time.

Talking on his podcast, Stephen A. Smith underlined what makes Biles the true great. From emphasizing her comeback to the yard, to how she went onto overcome every single obstacle along the way, no matter how big or small, Smith made it clear that she has been unparalleled in her journey to greatness.

She’s earned more national titles and more world championship medals than any man or woman in history. She has a combined total of 41 World and Olympic medals. If impact on her sport is a measure consider this y’all: Biles has five skills named after her... It’s one thing to go on with your life. It’s another thing entirely to go from 2021 having to step away from Olympics competition and coming back just three years later and resuming what the h*ll you were doing beforehand.
Stephen A. Smith said

With Smith being a critical analyzer of everything sport, ideally, when he labels someone as a GOAT, it goes without saying that the individual brilliance of the one in discussion has crossed all possible limits. Simone Biles did indeed pull off the unthinkable as she came back from an injury to ensure the fact that she is adding further to her already bedecked tally.

The USA gymnast started the latest edition of the Summer Games on July 30th and propelled her team to a win with a vault that saw USA register a score of 14.900. Her floor routine left the judges stunned while her anti-gravity stunts allowed USA to register a score of 14.666 as Team USA secured all-around gold with 171.296 points.

During the individual all-around final on 1st August, Biles executed the Yurchenko double pike on the vault which was one of the stunts named after her in 2023. The Biles II is another difficult stunt which brings in a handsome reward of 6.4 points and comes in with a massive risk factor.

Biles registered her second gold medal with a sensational electric floor routine, edging past Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade. Her third gold of the 2024 Paris games came in the women’s final vault on August 3rd with a score of 15.300. She capped it all off with a silver in the floor final that saw her fall short of Rebeca Andrade by 0.033 points.
