It was the last chance to see Simone Biles at the Paris Olympics, and Tom Brady took it. Like many top athletes and celebrities before him, the former NFL quarterback came to watch the American star perform at Bercy Arena.
However, Brady did not get to see Biles on the top of the Olympic podium.
Biles could have matched the record for the most Olympic gold medals by any female athlete with two more wins on the final day of gymnastics events. But she fell during her beam routine on Monday and then took silver in the floor exercise after making a few costly mistakes.
Brady attended the beam competition with his daughter, Vivian, and sat near the front row. He also met with Biles’ teammate Sunisa Lee, who shared a photo of herself with Brady on her Instagram account.
Brady, who turned 47 on Saturday, took many photos with 21-year-old Lee. When they parted ways, all the fans followed Lee.
The presence of many celebrities at the gymnastics venue made it feel like the Cannes film festival was happening at Bercy Arena.
A-listers like Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman, and Serena Williams had previously gathered at the venue to watch the most decorated gymnast in history. Other famous visitors included Spike Lee, Michael Phelps, Lady Gaga, Tom Cruise, and Jessica Chastain.
