Five-time gold medalist Missy Franklin discusses Katie Ledecky's dominance and leadership ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Simone Biles has made a triumphant return to the United States women's gymnastics Olympic team, leading the squad as the oldest American woman to make an Olympic gymnastics team since the 1950s. At 27 years old, Biles has overcome both physical and mental challenges to qualify for her third Olympic Games.
Biles' comeback is a testament to her resilience and determination. After withdrawing from the 2021 Japan Olympic Games due to mental health concerns, Biles faced criticism from some but also inspired many with her courage to prioritize her well-being. She has since returned to competition with a renewed focus and is determined to prove that she is still capable of performing at the highest level.
