The Palais Omnisports was the ultimate hotspot on day two of the Paris Olympics, drawing a glittering crowd eager to witness the triumphant return of gymnastics legend Simone Biles.
Hollywood royalty mingled with sports enthusiasts, as the most decorated gymnast in history took centre stage. Tom Cruise and Oscar-winning actor Jessica Chastain were among the illustrious spectators at the packed Bercy Arena on Sunday.
The glamorous Lady Gaga, fresh off her dazzling opening ceremony performance, shared her excitement with the world. She posted a video of Biles’ flawless beam routine on Instagram, captioning it: “She nailed it, what an honour to be so close!”
Front-row seats were graced by Snoop Dogg, who brought his signature party vibes, dancing enthusiastically during the team presentations. Other celebrities, including Greta Gerwig, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Nick Jonas, and Anna Wintour, joined the cheering throngs, making it a night to remember.
Tom Cruise, ever the crowd-pleaser, was swarmed by fans for selfies and handshakes, adding to the electric atmosphere.
Simone Biles, accompanied by U.S. teammates Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Sunisa Lee, and Jade Carey, made her first competitive appearance in Paris. Undeterred by discomfort in her left leg, Biles posted an all-around total of 59.566, helping the American team score a commanding 172.296, far ahead of their competitors.
The event drew more than just movie stars; USA snowboarder Shaun White and his girlfriend Nina Dobrev were also in attendance. Even athletes from various Olympic disciplines made it a point to witness the historic performance, including LeBron James and the U.S. men’s basketball team, despite their busy schedule.
As Simone Biles continues to captivate audiences and make Olympic history, her fans—both famous and otherwise—are left in awe of her unparalleled talent and grace.
