Hollywood star Brie Larson is celebrating Simone Biles’ iconic Olympic comeback. The world’s attention was once again on the renowned gymnast champion as she returned to the Olympic stage in Paris three years after the ‘twisties’ disrupted her performance in Tokyo.
And Biles, who is often hailed as one of the greatest gymnasts in history, elevated to new heights with her recent performance. Among those celebrating her performance was the Marvel star, who shared some cheerful words for Biles on Instagram, paying tribute to the gymnast champion.
Simone Biles’ Groundbreaking Return to the Olympics
Performing two of her signature skills, including Biles II on vault, Simone Biles not only made an incredible return to the Olympics but also became the first woman to land the Yurchenko double-pike.
What makes it even more remarkable is that she performed with strapping on her left leg, after a practice round that caused a slight limp. While Biles had previously withdrawn from the individual events in Tokyo, she has triumphed over ‘twisties’ and the challenges she faced along her journey.
At 27, Biles stands on the brink of creating Olympic history, as she could become the oldest American woman to win an Olympic gold in gymnastics, breaking the previous record by five years.
She also has the potential to become the oldest woman to win an Olympic gold in gymnastics in 60 years, adding to her collection of seven Olympic medals.
And among millions watching and celebrating her groundbreaking entry into the Olympics, a host of stars, including the Captain Marvel star, shared her excitement and admiration for Biles via an Instagram story.
