Simone Biles Performs to Israeli Star Noa Kirel’s ‘Unicorn’ in Her Gymnastics Return After Two-Year Hiatus

Simone Biles made a triumphant return to competitive gymnastics over the weekend by winning the gold medal in women’s all-around at the 2023 Core Hydration Classic after performing her floor exercise to the music of Noa Kirel’s Unicorn, the song that represented Israel at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

The four-time Olympic gold medalist, 26, dominated the Core Hydration Classic in Chicago, Illinois, with an overall score of 59.1, having the best score in three of the four events — balance beam, floor exercise and vault. She came in third place in the uneven bars category.

“There is no doubt that she made history and she is amazing and that moved me so much,” the Israeli singer said, referring to Biles. “She represents exactly the values that this song represents, and it’s one of the craziest things that’s happened to me. And how fun it is that she chose this song, my song, and really everything connects with everything she represents and shows to the world. It’s fun to have such female power.”

Biles’ performance over the weekend was the first time that she competed in gymnastics since the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. She stopped competing after making the decision to “focus on her mental health,” USA Gymnastics at the time. Her gold medal win over the weekend also continues her winning streak in the women’s all-round finals to 25 meets over the span of 10 years, according to Fox News. Biles remains one of the most decorated American gymnasts of all time.
