The 2024 Summer Olympics officially start on Friday, July 26 from Paris, and two of the biggest stars of the Games don the Red, White and Blue of the United States.

Swimmer Katie Ledecky and gymnast Simone Biles were born just three days apart, with Biles the elder, and both have been fixtures at the Olympics for quite some time. While they’ve already accomplished so much and are considered, perhaps, the greatest in their sports,  a lot is still at stake for the two at Paris 2024.
