The Olympic gold medalist finished off her 2024 Paris Olympics with three gold medals and a silver.
It was a memorable and historic 2024 Paris Olympics for Simone Biles, who finished this year’s Summer Games with four medals overall.
Biles, who received three gold medals and one silver, became the most decorated Olympic American gymnast of all time with 11 Olympic medals overall. Now, she is reveling in the accomplishment and healing from a minor injury.
Biles was spotted with a boot on following her final competition at the Paris Games and told Hoda Kotb on TODAY on Aug. 6 that the boot was “precautionary.”
“We’re resting up as much as possible,” Biles explained. “We have tour in a couple weeks. So, I’m just going to rest and heal.”
She previously spoke with NBC’s Mike Tirico following the women’s floor exercise Aug. 5 and was noticeably wearing a boot on her left foot.
When asked how her calf was, Biles said, “Calf is good. It’s just precautionary, making sure, because we still have tour after this to heal up and all of that stuff. So, just a little bit of soreness.”
Biles took a tumble during her warmups and went on to re-tape her calf ahead of her final floor routine. Biles had expressed issues with her calf earlier in the competition.
“I feel like elite athletes are pretty tough, so we’re just, through pain or pleasure, we’re ready for whatever,” she told Tirico as footage of her fall was shown on screen. “So mainly, what you’re seeing here is, I was just trying to over rotate for good measure, and I did just that and almost knocked (coach) Laurent (Landi) on out. But it was good.”
Biles’ smile has been an Olympics staple, and she agreed that her smile was showing a different joy in these Games. Biles struggled with the twisties at her last Olympics appearance in Tokyo and had to withdraw from the competition.
“I’m a lot happier and I chose to do this. So at the end of the day, whatever happens, happens. But I’m in a good spot mentally and physically, so you can’t take that away from me,” she said. “So whenever I’m out there, it’s just pure joy. Can’t believe I’m out there again, competing, representing my country, just having fun, doing what I love.”
She said that now she “most definitely” appreciates her Olympic experience in a different way, saying that she felt “there were such big expectations on us” during her first Games.
