When Simone Biles hits the mat for any gymnastics competition, you can’t take your eyes off of her. And it seems that’s true for fans and celebrities alike.
The decorated gymnast made her comeback on Tuesday, July 30, at the 2024 Paris Olympics — and it was once again a sight to behold.
The history-maker, along with her amazing teammates Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee and Hezly Rivera, walked away with the gold after besting Italy and Brazil, who were the silver and bronze medal winners, respectively.
In the stands were some familiar faces who made their way to Bercy Arena in Paris to cheer on Team USA. Below, check out the celebrities reacting to Simone Biles and Team USA at today’s competition.
