Simone Biles celebrated her three gold medals at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris by sharing a series of dazzling snaps with fellow American gymnast Jordan Chiles.
Less than 24 hours after the 27-year-old openly complained about being constantly asked by reporters about “what’s next” following her new Olympic performance this summer, Biles took to social media to share her close bond with the 23-year-old Chiles.
“Red, white, bile and peppers,” she captioned her Instagram post.
The pair are seen on a balcony in what is believed to be the Olympic Village, located in the northern Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis.
Both gymnasts wore shorts with the words ‘TEAM USA’ on them and a crop top showing off their back muscles.

Biles’s bold post comes a day after she criticized journalists for their interrogation techniques
Chiles also posted a series of photos with Biles on Instagram.
She wrote ‘team usa girlies…’ with a red heart as the caption to her post.
After winning gold in the team finals, all-around and women’s jumping earlier this week, Biles expressed her frustration over the series of interrogations that followed her performances in Paris.
In a response to X, she wrote: ‘You guys really need to stop asking athletes what they’re going to do after they win a medal at the Olympics.’
Biles added in another post: “Let’s enjoy the moment we’ve worked our whole lives for.”
When a fan asked her what her next step was after winning another gold medal, she replied, “keeping an eye on the medal.”
The 27-year-old American won three gold medals in Paris and can win more on Monday
Biles’ victory in the vault final on Saturday earned her the seventh gold medal of her illustrious Olympic career.
In front of a star-studded crowd that included actor John Travolta, track star Allyson Felix, artists Pharrell and Flavor Flav, her teammates and her parents, she averaged 15.3 on her signature Yurchenko double pike and Cheng jumps to claim her second gold medal in the event, eight years after winning it in Rio.
That means Biles, already the most decorated gymnast in history, now becomes only the second woman to win two vault titles, after Vera Casalavska of Czechoslovakia (1984 and 1968).
Biles has two more chances to add to her medal tally in Paris with the balance beam and floor finals on Monday.
