Last dance in Paris

Simone Biles

Have we seen the last of the US superstar, widely viewed as the greatest gymnast of all time?

The Paris Games were billed as the "redemption tour", after Biles famously suffered from the debilitating "twisties" in Tokyo and crashed out.

She did not disappoint, taking gold in the all-around, team and vault with a spectacular version of her signature Yurchenko double pike, now known as the Biles II.

Now 27, she appeared fatigued on her last day of competition, stumbled off the balance beam and winning "only" silver in the floor competition behind Brazil's Rebeca Andrade.

In what could be interpreted as a changing of the guard, Biles bowed deeply to Andrade during the medal ceremony.

"I've accomplished way more than my wildest dreams, not just at this Olympics, but in the sport," said Biles, who owns a jaw-dropping 41 world and Olympic medals — 30 of them gold.

Asked what she would do next, she replied: "I'm going to relax, and then more relaxing!"

But, could the draw of a home Olympics in 2028 prove too tempting for Biles, who would be 31? "Never say never," she said.
