Olympic gymnast Flavia Saraiva shocked viewers after competing with a bandaged face.

Flavia Saraiva’s resilience shone brightly at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Despite suffering an injury that left her with a black eye, she competed valiantly and secured a bronze medal for her team. Her dedication and courage captured the admiration of fans and fellow athletes alike.

Simone Biles achieved her fifth Olympic gold medal by leading the United States to victory in the women’s gymnastics team final on July 30, 2024, at the Bercy Arena

The U.S. team, comprising Biles, Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera, returned to the Olympic podium with a dominant performance.

They scored a combined total of 171.296, almost six points ahead of Italy, who secured their first artistic gymnastics medal in 96 years. Brazil earned bronze with 164.497 points, narrowly edging out Great Britain by 0.234 points.

Three years after settling for silver at the Tokyo Olympics, where Biles withdrew due to “the twisties,” the American team reestablished their dominance in the sport. Their all-around strong performance across all four disciplines earned them team gold for the third time in the last four Summer Games.

The U.S. team, the oldest ever assembled for the Olympics, dazzled in sequined red, white, and blue leotards. They celebrated together when the final scores were revealed, even though the result had been certain for some time.
