Simone Biles and her family, alongside Snoop Dogg and freestyle skier, Eileen Gu, appeared at Stade de France to catch some track and field action at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Biles competed in her third Olympics in Paris and earned three gold medals, adding to her previous four.
Biles, 27, holds a record 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals, which etched her name as the most decorated gymnast in history. In her debut Olympiad at the 2016 Rio Olympics, she earned five golds and a silver, setting the Olympic record for most gold medals in women's gymnastics.
After pulling out of multiple events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic finals because of 'twisties', Biles made a stronger comeback at the Paris Games. She topped the leaderboard in the individual all-around with 59.131, vault with 15.300, and team with 171.296. She missed out on the floor gold because of penalty deductions for stepping out of bounds.
After the gymnastic events concluded, Biles joined her family, American rapper, Snoop Dogg, and freestyle skier, Eileen Gu, at State de France to watch track and field athletes compete live.
In an X post, Biles was seen seated beside her father and mother, with Snoop Dogg looking over the track with his iconic glasses beside Eileen Gu.
Biles also took to her Instagram stories to show the purple track off and announce her presence at Stade de France.
Out of all the athletes competing today, all eyes were on the reigning 100m Olympic champion Noah Lyles, who faced a contentious 200m track at the Games. He finished with the bronze in 19.70s after his 100m gold win in 9.79s.
On the other, Tara Davis-Woodhall, the US long jumper, leapt 7.10m to take her maiden gold at the Olympics. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the 400m hurdles world record holder, clocked 50.37s to lower the world record for the sixth time.
Simone Biles was cheered by Snoop Dogg during qualifications at the Paris Olympics
Snoop Dogg was chosen as a special correspondent for NBC and religiously cheered on Team USA athletes in a patriotic ensemble. To extend special luck to Simone Biles during her competition, the 52-year-old rapper donned a t-shirt with Biles' face printed on it underneath a jacket.
Biles executed stellar routines in the women's gymnastics qualification rounds in Paris, which had left Snoop Dogg in awe. He was caught on camera lifting his sunglasses to reveal a wide-eyed look.
Simone Biles has now extended her overall Olympic medal tally to 11, which placed her above US gymnastics legend Shannon Miller. Her two individual golds in Paris placed her alongside Věra Čáslavská as the only women to achieve this feat.
