BREAKING: Simone Biles wins gold in the individual all-around, the first American to win it twice.
The legendary singer offered her voice to Simone Biles, narrating an introduction for the women’s all-around gymnastics for NBC. The background music is the song “Just for Fun,” from Beyoncé’s most recent album.
“Simone Biles inspires me, and I’m pretty sure she inspires you, too,” Beyoncé says. “Such confidence in her strength, such beauty in her power, such a great lesson in her story.”
“Brilliance, it doesn’t come easy. Gold can be a hell of a journey,” she continues. “And the greatest of all time is willing to put that title on the line every time she walks out there.”
Out of the 594 Team USA athletes in Paris, 11 are also members of the U.S. military. Jimmy Roberts reports on what it means to be an athlete representing the U.S. while also standing ready to defend it.
