Simone Biles never fails to attract the audience. It was the floor finals on Monday, the event where Biles engraved an example of her outstanding routine that shocked the fans at Bercy Arena. And Tom Brady was one of those fans, leaving him stunned in his seat.
Although it takes a lot to impress the 7 times Super Bowl champion, Biles did it with ease. The former Patriots‘ QB had his jaw dropped as he witnessed Simone Biles’s final performance. With eyes wide open, his lips could be read as “Wow“, per the X post of Sports Center. “Insane” was his reaction to the main event. But what was actually the shocker to Tom?
Brady was in the crowd as Simone did her thing. She came up with a Biles II triple-double and a Biles I double layout with a half-twist. With 7 golds under her belt and bronze in Rio and Tokyo, Simone Biles aimed to become the first three-time Olympic medalist in that event. But, it looks like her fate was not on the same page.
She received an execution score of 7.833 on her finals. It was her few out-of-bound steps that led to a deduction of 0.6 points, as she ended with a silver medal in her hand. Well, Biles suffered from calf pain during her warm-up in the morning, and that’s why she lost by a small margin. Although she didn’t win the gold, Biles’ overall performance left Brady and the spectators in awe.
And that was not all! Brady made a couple of rounds familiarizing himself with the athletes present.
Tom Brady’s interactions with Olympics athletes
The future Hall of Famer attended the Olympics with his daughter, Vivian. However, his plans didn’t only include watching gymnastics, as Brady was seen taking a selfie with US rugby star Ilona Maher. Ilona later posted said selfie on her TikTok page, where Brady was seen in a blue USA shirt and shorts, having his left arm around Maher as they posed. Later, Brady reshared the same with the caption, “There’s only one Olympic medalist in this picture and it ain’t me @ilonamaher.”
In addition, Brady also met with Dawn Staley, the coach of the South Carolina women’s basketball team. The NFL legend also clicked a picture with Biles’s teammate, Sinosa Lee, who later shared it with her fans on her Instagram account. Well, it feels like the NFL legend is enjoying his time in the 2024 Olympics.
