As the American gymnastics team made their way out to the Bercy Arena in Paris for the team final, all eyes were on Simone Biles. Fans eagerly awaited the introduction of the team, knowing that Biles was looking to add to her impressive collection of Olympic medals. But before the introductions could even begin, Biles made a small misstep.
With the excitement and energy of the crowd, Biles forgot one of the Olympics protocols. Instead of standing in front of the American flag with her team, she immediately went to take her place on the side of the arena. Luckily, her American teammates were quick to notice and called her back to join them. Biles couldn't help but feel a little sheepish as she realized her mistake, but she shared a laugh with her teammates before lining up for the introduction.
BBC commentator Matt Baker couldn't help but poke fun at Biles, saying, "She hasn't been in the competition arena for a while and forgets to salute the crowd. Simone, there's a lot of people here to see you!" But Commonwealth Games gold-winning gymnast Craig Heap had a different perspective, commenting, "I think she's just keen to get on with the competition! That proves how much she wants it." And with a team as remarkable as the USA, Heap believed that the title was firmly in their hands.
As the introductions continued, the volume in the arena reached deafening levels, with fans showing their support for the American team. Biles stood tall among her teammates, ready to take on the competition and add to her already impressive record. With the weight of expectations on her shoulders, Biles showed just how determined she was to succeed. And with her teammates by her side, there was no doubt that they were the team to beat.
