The scoreboard registered 171.296 points across the four apparatuses, and the gold medal, which continues to elevate Biles' legacy, returned to the American Federation of Artistic Gymnastics.

Despite the expectations, the value of yet another display of excellence by the Americans at the Bercy Arena in Paris was immeasurable, providing a delightful spectacle for viewers, also thanks to the admirable performances of the other teams. 

The Brazilian generation looks very promising with Rebeca Andrade as main face, achieving their first-ever Olympic medal in team artistic gymnastics. This achievement, with the first podium finish in the country's history, is bigger than that. It's also the first medal in the history of the South American subcontinent, beating the British team after a strong comeback.

Italy, performing phenomenally, secured the silver, surpassing the Latin American revelation by just 1.000 points. Definitely, an unreal Italian team, with Angela Andreoli attempting to snatch gold from Biles and company at the end of the day. 

The Brescia-born gymnast performed a double somersault connected pirouette, which is rarely seen, and was applauded as she tried to secure the podium and unsettle Biles, who would close out the series. The Italian team's tears of joy were well-deserved, as it was the first time in almost a century that they had won a medal in the sport. The last time was in Amsterdam in 1928.

The 27-year-old athlete from Ohio, Biles, considered by many to be the greatest gymnast of all time, won four gold medals at the Rio 2016 Games. However, four years later, her Japanese adventure was not as smooth due to a mental block, a nightmare that led to her withdrawal from the Tokyo Games during the team final in artistic gymnastics.

Amidst her struggle with the so-called "twisties" that threatened to undermine the strong mentality of the legendary athlete, she decided to confront her fears and head to Paris. "It has to be for us," Biles said beforehand about the United States' attempt to reclaim their women's team crown. And so it was. Gold again in 2024, eight years later.

"It can't be for anyone else. We do it for ourselves, for the love of the sport, and to represent the United States," Biles shouted again in the preview, having risen from the ashes like a phoenix. The cameras were fixed on the brilliant Biles throughout her performance. No one wanted to miss such an act. 

On Sunday, the American team had already given a taste of what was to come in the final, leading the qualification and leaving the audience in awe despite Biles competing with a bandaged leg in her first appearance in the French capital.

Today, in this historic moment, Biles reserved first place. In Olympic settings, there is always a breed of athletes, elite inhabitants, who possess a special aura. This is the case for the American athlete of Belizean origin, who captivated both television viewers and the audience at Paris's Bercy Arena.

From the first exercise of the first rotation, the United States took the lead thanks to Jordan Chiles' 14.400 on the vault. Jade Carey followed with 14.800 on her jump, and Biles ultimately with 14.900. It wasn't an out-of-this-world jump this time—simple, efficient, and with a clean twist.

This pattern continued in the following rotations, with overwhelming superiority from the representatives of the Stars and Stripes. In the fourth and final rotation, unsurprisingly, they delivered another crowd-pleasing floor routine. These final touches in the last rotations highlighted the Biles icon once again. The 103rd medal for the USA and a tie in gold medals with the historic Russian Larisa Latynina for the legendary 27-year-old gymnast.

Biles now prepares for a marathon of competitions at the Paris 2024 Games, where she will participate in six gymnastics finals in just seven days. Today, July 30, she began with gold in team final, followed by a rest day on Wednesday. 

On Thursday, August 1, Biles will compete in the all-around individual competition, with another rest day on Friday. Then, she will face an unrelenting schedule: vault on Saturday, August 3, uneven bars on Sunday, August 4, and finally, balance beam and floor exercise on Monday, August 5. This series of events not only underscores her endurance and skill but also her ability to stay at the top under constant pressure.
