There were many unforgettable moments at the 2024 Paris Olympics, including Celine Dion's electrifying opening ceremony performance. But it was the women's gymnastics floor final that produced an iconic and historic moment.

Rebecca Andrade of Brazil won gold, Simone Biles of the U.S. team took silver, and Jordan Childs won bronze. When the winners received their prizes, they were part of the first gymnastics podium at the Olympics to consist entirely of black athletes.

'First of all, we were very excited because the podium was filled with black people. But then Jordan said, 'Should I bow to her? But then Jordan said, 'Should I bow to her? Biles also said she felt it was "the right thing to do" to honor the life-changing moment.

"So I can't be mad at my performance, because two or three years ago I didn't think I'd be back here for the Olympic games. So I can't be mad at myself for competing and coming back with four medals. I'm proud of myself and it's always exciting to compete."
