Simone Biles Wears an ‘American Anthem’ Leotard for Gymnastics Women’s Balance Beam Final, Wins Silver Medal in Ombre Red Uniform for Floor Exercise Final at 2024 Paris Olympics

Simone Biles wore a new leotard during the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Balance Beam Final at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Monday. The decorated gymnast competed in both the Balance Beam Final and in the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Floor Exercise Final alongside teammate Jordan Chiles at Bercy Arena.

For the Balance Beam Final, Biles wore the “American Anthem” leotard courtesy of GK Elite. The white and navy ombre wash garment featured a bevy of intricately detailed crystal designs, including a small American flag at the hip. The long-sleeve, scoop-neck leotard glittered under the lights.

The Balance Beam Final proved an obstacle for Biles, as well as other competitors. The gymnast, who’s already won three gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, fell off the balance beam during her routine. Her score indicates she will not place for a medal in this particular competition.

Later on during the day, however, Biles suited up for her next event: the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Floor Exercise Final. The venerated athlete changed her uniform, wearing GK Elite’s “USA Elegance” leotard. The leotard featured a similarly designed ombre color way, this time in shades of blue and red to mimic the American flag.

Like the other uniforms Biles and Team USA have worn throughout competition, the GK Elite design featured several glittering crystal elements.

GK Elite, the world’s leading brand for gymnastics competition and training apparel, boasts the designs of this year’s Team USA gymnastics uniforms. The 2024 Paris Olympics attire marries patriotic inspiration with Old Hollywood glamour, thanks in no small part to the brand’s partnership with Swarovski, who added ornate, sparkling elements as a tribute to the host city of Paris.
