What is it like being the parents of top Olympic athletes? The father of Hezly Rivera, the youngest member of Team USA women's gymnastics, and the parents of gymnastics legend Simone Biles share the journeys they've all been through. NBC News' Lester Holt reports. Watch the 2024 Paris Olympics on NBC and streaming on Peacock, July 26 - Aug 11.
Atlanta 1996, London 2012, Rio 2016 and now, Paris 2024. The U.S. women's gymnastics team is golden once again. After winning the team silver medal in Tokyo, Simone Biles led Team USA back to the top of the Olympic podium, winning a gold medal in Tuesday's team final. Italy took silver and Brazil the bronze, winning its first Olympic team medal. It was the first Olympic team medal for the Italians since 1928.
Team USA has several points of difficulty advantage, so Chiles' missed routine had little impact on their gold medal chances. She more than redeemed herself on floor, where she served up high-flying acrobatics and magnetic stage presence in equal measure, tumbling to Beyoncé. Reigning Olympic floor champion Jade Carey performed just one routine, a Cheng on vault that earned a 14.800.
