Simone Biles in Paris

Simone Biles is poised to secure two more Olympic gold medals on Monday at the Paris Games, targeting triumphs in the balance beam and floor exercises, which would solidify her status as the greatest gymnast in history. After winning the vault, Biles has reached a remarkable total of seven Olympic golds, a comeback from her struggles during the Tokyo Olympics where she faced mental blocks known as the 'twisties.' She remarked on the newfound silence of her critics, stating, 'They're really quiet now, so that's strange.' Meanwhile, pole vault champion Armand Duplantis aims to break his own world record of 6.24 meters, having been virtually unbeatable in the sport for five years. As reigning Olympic champion, Duplantis feels comfortable with the expectations placed on him, emphasizing the mental aspect of competing at such a high level. Both athletes are set to further define their legacies at this historic event.
