Simone Biles Hilariously Celebrates Winning GOLD At Paris Olympics!
Simone Biles Celebrates Latest Olympic Gold Medal Before Grabbing Hot Dogs in Paris
The Olympian shared both a snap of her holding her third Paris gold medal and an image of a post-victory meal to Instagram on Aug. 4
Simone Biles knows just how to celebrate a big win!
After scoring her seventh career gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris on Saturday, Aug. 3, the superstar gymnast shared a pair of timely snaps to Instagram on Sunday, Aug. 4, complete with a short-but-sweet caption.
In the photos, Biles could be seen laser-focused on the task at hand as she stood on the mat at the Bercy Arena, where on Saturday, she finished first in the women’s artistic gymnastics individual vault final — earning her third gold medal in Paris. The next photo showed the Olympian proudly holding the medal with a smile on her face.
“Another 🥇ne,” Biles captioned both images.
While she shared a snap of her gold medals from Paris to her Instagram Story during the weekend and re-shared celebratory messages from pals, Biles also gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at what she’s been dining on in Paris.
On Sunday, the gold medalist posted an Instagram Story featuring a meal of two hot dogs, two servings of fries and a cup of ketchup. She hilariously captioned it by writing, “It there’s a glizzy, I’ll find it.”

Just as Biles vows to find a glizzy, she also has made it her mission to find gold in Paris. On top of her vault final victory, she’s also earned gold in both the women’s all-around and the team final — with teammates Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee and Hezly Rivera.
Her latest win on Saturday came thanks to her Biles II vault, which was a 15.700 with a 6.400 difficulty. Her second vault of the day, the Cheng, was a 14.900 with a 5.600 difficulty level, bringing her average score to 15.300.
Biles’ teammate Carey also competed in the event and earned the bronze medal, after a 14.733 on her first vault and 14.200 on her second for a 14.466 average.

After her latest Olympic victory, Biles spoke with reporters at a press conference at Bercy Arena, where she was asked if it would be “the last time we’re going to see you vaulting in competition.”
“This is my last, definitely Yurchenko double pike [vault]. I mean I kind of nailed that one. So never say never,” she said. “The home Games — the next Olympics is at home, so you just never know. But I am getting really old.”
The 2028 Olympics are set to be held in Los Angeles, marking the first Summer Games in the U.S. since Atlanta in 1996.
