The face-off between Simone Biles and Suni Lee marks the first time two gold medalists are competing against each other in the event.
The women's gymnastics individual all-around competition is underway this afternoon as the 2024 Olympic Games continue in Paris . Simone Biles and Suni Lee are competing for the United States in the competition, marking the first time two gold medalists are competing against each other in the event. Biles took home the gold for women's all-around in the 2016 Rio Olympics , and Lee earned the gold medal during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, after Biles pulled out of the competition.
If Biles takes home a gold on Thursday, she will become the oldest champion in the event in 72 years, according to CBS Sports. Maria Gorokhovskaya was 30 when she took the gold medal for the Soviet Union at the 1952 Helsinki Games. The competition may also continue the women's team's winning streak in the event. An American has won the all-around gold in five straight Olympics, according to CBS Sports.
