Simone Biles celebrated her Olympic victories alongside French swimming legend Leon Marchand after the closing ceremony of the Paris Games.
Biles, who is now the most decorated gymnast in the history of the Olympics, was seen partying with Marchand at the l’Arc club in Paris on Sunday night.
The 27-year-old Team USA victor danced around the club as fellow revellers cheered her on, waving American flags and a illuminated sign declaring her a ‘god 4 life’.
Biles and Marchand, who earned seven gold medals between them at this year’s games, smiled as photographers snapped candid pics of them at the party.
The pair also posed for a photo with 22-year-old Marchand giving a thumbs up as Biles embraces him and another partygoer.

Biles returned to the Olympics three years after she pulled out of multiple events at the Tokyo Games for mental health reasons.
She made her mark in Paris with a hat-trick of golds in the team final and individual success in the all-round and vault events before rounding it off with silver on the floor.
Biles was the most popular attraction in Paris and competed in front of celebrity-packed crowds, which included Tom Cruise, Ariana Grande and Anna Wintour. She was also front-and-center during the Paris handover to Los Angeles.
Hollywood’s top gun Tom Cruise rappelled from the roof of the Stade de France into the Paris Games closing ceremony before speeding off with the Olympic flag in a dramatic handover that began the countdown to the Los Angeles Games in 2028.

Biles and Bass also stood behind award-winning R&B singer H.E.R. as she played her custom-built Stratocaster guitar and sand the US national anthem.
After her successes at Paris Games, next up for Biles is a 30-stop ‘Gold Over America Tour’, which will see her and other world-class gymnasts perform in a high-energy choreographed program.
She will also give fans a behind the scenes look at her time in Paris with her new Netflix series ‘Simone Biles Rising’. The series already had two episodes released on Netflix last month, with two more coming in the fall.
The already-released episodes detailed Biles’ time in Tokyo and her path back to her prime form for Paris. Two more episodes will show her legendary run at this summer’s Olympics.
