Gymnastics: Simone Biles' Olympic return underway in qualifying round at Paris 2024

Olympic champion Simone Biles has made a successful comeback at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where the American team is participating in the second out of five women's qualification rounds on Sunday, July 28th.

The 27-year-old walked into Bercy Arena and was greeted with loud clapping from the crowd. She seemed at ease as she smiled and waved to the spectators.

She appeared very calm and poised on the balance beam, showcasing her skill with a nearly perfect routine that included a two layout stepout series and a full-twisting double back dismount. Biles scored a 14.733 for her performance that lasted about 79 seconds.
