ai generated text

Simone Biles won her sixth Olympic gold medal and second of the Paris Games, becoming only the third woman in history to earn the sport's most prestigious title more than once. She reclaimed her status as the number one all-around gymnast, three years after withdrawing from the same final. Biles held off a challenge from Brazilian Rebeca Andrade, who won the women's all-around title for a second time. Biles' teammate Suni Lee took bronze in the final.

    1. I just couldn't believe that I did it.
    2. And that's exactly what you saw out there. I think Rebeca pushes me to be my best as well. She's a phenomenal athlete and gymnast. So I'm excited that she was there to push me.
    3. Now that I'm much older and we have so much more experience, we're out here really having fun and enjoying what we're doing. So I think it's just different.
    4. Out of all of the events, I think bars is the one that I haven't messed up on like once the whole entire training, here or back in Houston.
    5. All in all, I'm super proud of my performance and the fight I've had for the last three years, mentally and physically, to get back competing on a world stage.
    6. The Olympic Games is an amazing experience, so I couldn't be prouder. To see where I've grown from Tokyo and even the 19-year-old from Rio is amazing. I'm proud of [myself] for putting in the work and never giving up.
    7. I went out there and I just told myself not to put any pressure on myself because I didn't want to think about past Olympics or even trying to like prove to anybody anything. Because I wanted to just prove to myself that I could do it because I did think that I could, but it's taken a lot.
