"The Greatest to ever do it"; "Gold medal loading"- Fans react to Simone Biles' official headshot for the Paris Olympics

Simone Biles has warmed the hearts of fans with her beautiful smile captured in the official Team USA Olympic Team headshot. Biles is gearing up for a smooth bounce back at the Olympic Games with the gymnastics event set to begin on Saturday, July 27 to Monday, August 5.

Simone Biles hopes to make amends when she steps at the Bercy Arena for her first event. The four-time Olympic champion debuted at the 2016 Rio Olympics and oozed class as she claimed gold medals in the all-around, floor exercise, and vault.

Biles claimed top honors in the overall team performance and won a bronze medal on the balance beam. Returning to the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan in 2020, Biles had a difficult time as she failed to defend her title successfully.

The American claimed a bronze medal on the balance beam and a silver in the team category. Simone Biles cited mental health concerns to justify her dismal performance and withdrawal from the individual all-around competition, vault, uneven bars, and the floor final.

After Team USA shared the images of Biles on their X (formerly Twitter) handles, fans are assured of a gold medal from the 27-year-old. Other fans were also warmed by her beautiful smile and face, noting that it would be special to watch Biles compete on the Olympic stage for the third consecutive time.

"THAT’S THE GOAT RIGHT THERE 🐐👑excited to watch the entire US team compete ✨," a fan wrote.

"Time to break more records!!!" another added.

"Beautiful! Go Simone!💕🫶🏾," another fan penned.

Here are more reactions from the fans after Team USA shared Simone Biles’ picture ahead of the Paris Olympic Games.

"Good luck Simone," another fan added.

"Gold medal loading. 🥇," a fan noted.

"She’s so awesome so glad she’s back in action showing the world how to fly," another fan wrote.

Simone Biles was forced to prematurely withdraw from the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games due to mental health concerns.

Biles headed to the games as the defending champion in the individual all-around, vault, and floor exercise but could not defend any of her titles.

However, she heads to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games with a different mindset, determined to place all her challenges behind her until the end of her competition.

"After Tokyo, I literally had not one ounce of belief in myself. You just don’t know if you can do it again. I was like, ‘Is this really how my career ends? That’s tragic.’," Biles said as quoted by E News.

"This time, coming back, it’s truly for myself. But it’s also, I never want to look back in 10 years and say, ‘Oh, what if I could’ve done another Olympic cycle or at least tried?’," she added.

At the Olympic Games, Simone Biles will enjoy the company of compatriots Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera.
