The American gymnast Simone Biles performs on the balance beam at the Bercy Arena on July 28, 2024, during the women’s qualification at the Paris Olympic Games, marking her third Olympic appearance. The photograph captures a captivating reflection on a TV screen in the arena, creating an intriguing visual effect in which the gymnast’s image appears to split as she lands with her hands on the beam after completing an acrobatic move.
