Simone Biles and Suni Lee just made Olympic history.

Biles, 27, and Lee, 21, represented Team USA in the 2024 Olympics women’s artistic gymnastics all-around final on Thursday, Aug. 1. The moment marked a first: never before had two former all-around gold medalists faced each other in the event. Lee won the final during the 2020 Tokyo Games, while Bile was the gold medalist in Rio in 2016.

And they were both, again, medalist: Biles took the gold, while Lee fell behind Brazil’s Rebecca Andrade to win the bronze medal.

The final comes after Biles, Lee and their teammates, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera, won the team gold on July 30, following a challenging 2020 Games for Biles and that year’s gymnastics team. As Biles battled with the twisties, the team took silver and she ultimately pulled out of the all-around.

Heading into the final, Biles was now the most-decorated gymnast in U.S. history with eight medals. The all-around medal is her ninth.
