PARIS, France — Fresh off their gold medal win in the team final, Simone Biles and Suni Lee could make history in the women’s gymnastics all-around final on Thursday.
Women's gymnastics 2024 all-around final
If either Biles or Lee wins on Thursday, they would be the first woman to earn a second Summer Games all-around gold in 56 years.
Biles would become the oldest women’s all-around champion since 1952. Maria Gorokhovskaya was 30 when she won the gold at the 1952 Helsinki Games.
An American has stood atop the podium in the women's gymnastics all-around final for the past five Olympics.
Carly Patterson won at the 2004 Athens Games, Nastia Liukin at the 2008 Beijing Games, Gabby Douglas at the 2012 London Games, Biles at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games and Lee at the Tokyo Games three years ago.
Thursday's event marks the first all-around final that includes multiple Olympic champions in Lee and Biles.
