Simone Biles is home following her record-breaking performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics!

On Monday, Aug.12, the 27-year-old gymnast — who took home three gold medals and one silver during her time in the French capital — shared some Instagram Stories of her celebrating her big win at the L’Arc Paris nightclub following the closing ceremony the evening before.

Biles shared two videos from the club, showing people holding signs up reading “gym legend,” which she posted with the caption, “The reason I’m unwell this morning.”

After posting a photo from her plane landing back in the U.S., the Olympian then shared a further clip of herself dancing and singing along to Waka Flocka Flame’s “Grove St. Party” in the club, tagging her sister Adria.

Biles’ posts come after she had the honor of carrying the Olympic flag during Sunday’s closing ceremony.

The athlete, who wore a precautionary boot on her foot, walked onto the stage at the Stade de France and joined Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, as musician H.E.R. performed the American national anthem. The song led into the evening’s highly-anticipated moment when Tom Cruise soared into the crowd.
