Simone Biles rocks a greatest of all time “GOAT” diamond necklace
A gold medal wasn’t the only thing around Simone Biles’ neck as she rocked a greatest of all time “GOAT” necklace following her historic win.
Simone Biles has had a busy schedule at theĀ 2024 Paris Olympics.
The American gymnast picked up three Olympic gold medals in the team final, all-around competition and vault final. And although she still has two more opportunities to add to her hardware collection at the Paris Games, she will get a much needed break from the competition on Sunday.
The uneven bars final kicks off on Sunday, but Biles is not in the field. Here’s a look at the 27-year-old’s remaining schedule at the 2024 Paris Games, including why she’s not competing in the uneven bars final and when she competes next.

Is Simone Biles competing today?
The uneven bars event final is being held Sunday, but Biles will not be competing. Despite winning her second gold medal in the women’s all-around competition āĀ where a gymnast competes on all four apparatuses āĀ the uneven bars are not Biles’ strong suit. During the qualification round last week, Biles finished in ninth place in the uneven bars, barely missing out on the uneven bars final on Sunday.
Biles, however, will likely be cheering on her teammate. Suni Lee, who earned a gold alongside Biles in the team final, in addition to a bronze medal in the all-around final, qualified for the uneven bars final on Sunday.
