With a day off during the group stage in Paris, Stephen Curry and other members of Team USA’s men’s basketball program made an appearance at the gymnastics all-around final to show support for legendary Olympians Simone Biles and Suni Lee.
Curry and Team USA cheered on Biles as she won gold and Lee as she won bronze in the all-around competitions. Both Biles and Lee received their second medals in the 2024 Olympics after securing gold in the team all-around final. Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade earned the silver medal in the event.

Lee won gold in the all-around three years ago in Tokyo with Biles winning it before that in 2016 in Rio. Team USA has won gold in the gymnastics all-around in five straight Olympic games.
Biles’ gold medal on Thursday was the ninth Olympic medal of her career, the most ever won by an American gymnast. Biles could potentially add more medals as she’s set to compete in three more events in Paris, the balance beam, floor exercise and vault.
Curry and Team USA men’s basketball will be back on the court on Saturday morning in Lille for the final leg of the group stage against Puerto Rico.
