He also broke the streak of 12 consecutive teenage player wins.
Simone Biles (27, USA), who won the women’s individual all-around event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has become the oldest gold medalist in 72 years.
Biles won the individual all-around event at the competition that ended on the 1st (local time) at the Bercy Stadium in Paris, France. The
women’s individual all-around event determines the medal by adding up the scores from the four events of vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.
Biles, who is showing off her world-class skills in her third Olympics, has become the oldest person to win a gold medal in this event since Maria Gorokovskaya (former Soviet Union) won the individual all-around at the 1952 Helsinki Games at the age of 30, 72 years ago.
Biles also broke the streak of 12 consecutive victories by teenagers in the individual all-around from the 1976 Montreal Games to the 2020 Tokyo Games. Biles
was 19 years old when she won the individual all-around at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
Having previously won the women’s team event at the Paris Olympics, Biles has increased her total Olympic gold medals to six. This is the most gold medals by a U.S. male or female gymnast in history. 바카라게임
