The spirit of mutual support and sportsmanship can be found throughout the Olympic Games, as evidenced so well in this photo from Bercy Arena today. On the podium, both silver medalist Simone Biles and bronze medalist Jordan Chiles of Team USA playfully bow down to the gold-medal winner, Team Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, as she celebrates her win in the women’s floor exercise. Andrade’s stellar performances earned her medals in several events earlier, but this was her first gold of 2024.
