Fans react after USA women's gymnastics team wins in 2024 Olympic Games

PARIS (KXAN) -- You could call it a redemption tour. That was Simone Biles' mentality going into the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Biles and the team won gold on Tuesday in the team all-around final.

This win was even sweeter after a silver in Tokyo when Biles had to pull out of the team all-around finals for her mental health.

Now, in Paris, finishing on top, the women finished several points ahead of the other teams, with Italy trailing behind.

KXAN's Jala Washington was there for the win, and she shared reaction from fans and USA gymnastics family members.

Outside Bercy Arena, Washington spoke with excited fans from the U.S.

"I would tell any parent who has a child in this position, keep pushing, keep pressing, because their dreams are big, but they can do it," said Timothy and Gina Chiles, Jordan Chiles' parents. "Our hope for her is that she's happy, she's healthy, she feels like she accomplished what she wanted to do."

Henry Rivera, Hezly Rivera's father, said he was super proud his daughter is a champ. "Gold medal! We couldn’t be any happier. This is my entire family here. Flew out from New York, Jersey, Cali. We’re all in here. USA! USA!"

Emotions ran high as the party continued in Paris Tuesday. The team still has the individual event finals, as well as all around finals, coming up.

The top three women in each event competed, so there was very little room for error -- as all scores counted.

Biles also made history and is now the most decorated Olympic gymnast of all time.
