Paris 2024 Olympics: Beyoncé celebrates Simone Biles' gymnastics triumph with uplifting tribute video

If you’ve been wowed and yelling at your television every time you see Simone Biles compete, you’re not alone. Even Beyoncé has been drawn in by the power of Biles at Olympic Games Paris 2024.

It started with a hype video that NBC produced with words and music from Beyoncé. Over highlights of Simone Biles performing in artistic gymnastics, “Queen Bey” spoke of Biles’ power and the many ways it has manifested itself.

“Let’s talk about power because, really, that’s what this story is about. Physical power, its beauty, its wonder, the way it never stops amazing you. Then there’s spiritual power, the kind that really matters. The power you can’t see, only sense. The power you need in those moments when life goes a little sideways on you. And, of course, lasting power.”

Beyoncé continues: “Only a select few know what it feels like to get to the top and stay there and somehow keep getting better. Simone Biles inspires me, and I’m pretty sure she inspires you, too. 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, and the greatest of all time is willing to put that title on the line every time she walks out there. Take your best shot world. She’s ready for you.”

Beyoncé’s support of Biles didn’t stop at that video, though. Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, shared video of herself and her daughter watching and cheering on Biles during the all-around final. As everyone waited for the final score to come in, Beyoncé said, “C’mon, Simone.” Then the two women burst into cheers when Biles’ gold medal was confirmed.
