<p>The US women's gymnastics team on Sunday (Jul 28) entered the team final as the favourites for gold at the 2024 Paris Games, with Simone Biles making a stunning comeback. The 27-year-old was joined on the team by reigning Olympic all-around champion Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera.</p>

<p>Rivera, 16, is the 2023 US junior champion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tom Cruise, Lady Gaga, John Legend and Ariana Grande were among the celebrities in attendance at Bercy Arena to witness the return of Biles, who powered through left calf pain to begin her multiple-medal bid in Paris.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medallist competing in her third Games, appeared to be bothered by the pain but she was all smiles at the end of the first day of competition at the Paris Games.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Biles was seen limping at times during the qualifying competition. She also looked in pain while&nbsp;walking&nbsp;after she had powered the US to the top of the team standings, but US coach Cecile Landi was optimistic for Biles and told reporters: "Just a little pain in her calf."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Landi said there was never any doubt that Biles would not continue. The coach had previously said that the US superstar aggravated a minor injury which she'd been dealing with for a couple of weeks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The pain didn't stop her from soaring through her signature Yurchenko double pike vault, which is now known as the Biles II. She even did it with a big step back on landing and&nbsp;earned a 9.4 for execution for a total of 15.800 points.&nbsp;</p>
