Simone Biles did not let an injury scare slow her down on her long-awaited return to Olympic competition, posting a superb all-around total of 59.566 during Paris 2024 qualifying on Sunday in front of a star-studded crowd at the Bercy Arena.

After impressing on the balance beam Biles appeared to injure her left leg during warmups on the floor exercise. She was then tended to by doctors and left the floor briefly, before returning to have her ankle taped.

Not that she let that impact her performance. She scored a 14.6 with her floor routine before posting a sensational 15.3 on the vault, performing her breath-taking Yurchenko double pike vault. She concluded her performance by scoring 14.433 on the uneven bars as the United States took a commanding early lead in the team competition.

Plenty of celebrities were in attendance at the Bercy Arena to watch Biles. Tom Cruise, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande all turned out, as did Anna Wintour, the long-serving editor of Vogue.
