Simone Biles Wins Bronze in Return to Olympics Competition!

Simone Biles won bronze in her return to Olympic competition!

The 24-year-old superstar placed in third in the individual balance beam competition on Tuesday (August 3) in Tokyo, Japan.

“I was proud of myself just to go out there after what I’ve been through,” Simone told reporters after her win. “I’ll treasure this one a lot more after everything I have been through.”

Simone stepped away from Olympics competitions last week to focus on her well being, and she felt good enough to return for balance beam. This was the last competition Simone could participate in. In total, Simone now has 7 Olympic medals, including a silver medal for the USA team’s performance earlier in the Olympics.

In this event, the gold medal went to Guan Chenchen of China and silver went to Tang Xijing of China.

After Simone stepped away from the last few Olympics events, she received a lot of support from one person very special to her.

Congratulations to Simone Biles on the bronze medal!!!
