First photo of the day: Gymnastics sisters’ historic selfie

According to Varesh Se, American gymnastics prodigy Simone Biles has won three gold medals so far in the Paris Olympics and today she was looking to add a fourth to her record. But to everyone’s surprise, she narrowly lost to Brazilian Rebeca Andrade and took the silver medal.

Two days ago, Biles made history by winning the gold medal on the vault, bringing her Olympic gold medal count to seven. This was her third gold medal at the Paris Olympics.

Today, at the Bercy Arena, Biles was ready to celebrate her eighth Olympic gold medal and her fourth in Paris. The hall was packed with spectators who had come to see the gymnastics prodigy take home another gold medal.

But today was not Simone Biles’ day. After two inversions, she slipped on the ground after landing and was unable to land perfectly like the female before her. These two mistakes cost the American gymnast dearly, and the judges finally gave her 14.133 points.

Now it was the turn of rival Rebecca Andrade to take advantage of the opportunity. Few thought the Brazilian gymnast could take the gold medal from the great Biles. But on a day when Simone Biles was not doing well, she won the floor exercise gold medal with a score of 14.166.

Jordan Chiles, an American athlete who performed poorly, requested a review and ultimately won the right for the US gymnastics team to win the bronze medal.

But when these three gymnasts stepped onto the podium to receive their medals, they put on a unique show at the Paris Olympics that attracted a lot of attention.

Rebecca Andrade stood on the first platform wearing the black jersey and yellow pants of the Brazilian national team, while Simon Biles and Jordan Chiles stood on the second and third platforms wearing the navy jerseys of the United States team, which won the silver and bronze medals. ,

The three female gymnasts showed their closeness despite the intense competition. The two American athletes began the special medal ceremony, and when Andrade raised his hands in victory, Biles and Chiles attacked him from both sides and hugged the Brazilian gymnast. Afterwards, the three athletes joked around like three sisters, and bronze medalist Chiles decided to record the scene. He pulled out his phone, and the three floor exercise medalists posed joyfully in front of it, recording one of the most special medal ceremonies at the Paris Olympics.
