Jill Biden cheers on Team USA gymnastics at Olympics after claiming the 'magic of Hollywood' can top Paris at LA 2028

Jill Biden supported Team USA's athletes on the first official day of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris Saturday. 

The First Lady, just days after her husband Joe Biden passed the torch to Kamala Harris, cheered on the US men's gymnastics team as they kicked off the Olympics in front of a star-studded crowd. 

Biden was joined by Olympic gold medalists Dawn Staley and Bart Conner, Denise Campbell Bauer, the U.S. Ambassador to France, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass at Bercy Arena. 

However, the American gymnasts had no idea they were being watched by Biden until after they had finished competing. 

'I walked up and they're like, 'Oh, Jill Biden's here.' What?? That's kind of awesome,' Brody Malone said, via USA Today.

'I wish I'd showed her a cooler floor routine,' Frederick Richard joked. 

But Biden seemed impressed enough by his routine as she was seen getting into the spirit of the occasion, clapping throughout it. 

The Americans also got to meet Biden, who expressed her and the country's pride for them. 

'I'm just a gymnast from Deerfield, Illinois,' Paul Juda said. 'She said everybody from home supports us, (including) the President — that's just insane.' 

Later in the day, she headed over to the Grand Palais where the fencing will be fought out for gold in the heart of the French capital. 

It's not the first time the First Lady has attended the Olympics. She also showed her support for her fellow Americans during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 as one of the few people allowed in the stands due to the strict Covid-19 restrictions. 

And, earlier on Saturday, she championed the next Olympic Games, which will return to the United States at LA 2028. 

'To so many elected officials from across the United States, I'm grateful for everything you've done to champion the 2028 Olympic Games,' Biden said as she addressed the crowd at a Team USA brunch. 

'Because of you the Olympic flame will shine brightly in our country once again. 

'[...] Last night was spectacular. The rain did not dampen our spirits. Every step of the way I was thinking to myself, 'Oh my god, how are we going to top this?' 

'So Pairs has the Eiffel Tower, but we have Hollywood and the magic of Hollywood that makes all dreams come true, so I think we're going to be okay.' 

Jill, who sat in the Oval Office on Wednesday night as her husband passed the torch to Kamala Harris, cheered Team USA as the torch was lit at the Opening Ceremony of the Summer Olympics on Friday.

The rain didn't manage to put a damper on her spirits as the First Lady stood and cheered in the stands. 

The first joined other world leaders - including French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte - watching the athletes arrive in the stadium under the Eiffel Tower.

Biden, like many others, snapped photos with her iphone. She sat with U.S. Ambassador to France Denise Campbell Bauer.

The first lady drowned her sorrows in a glass of champagne and a night of partying with Serena Williams , Charlize Theron , Mick Jagger , and Zendaya on Thursday.

The first lady joined the A-list stars at the Prelude to the 2024 Olympic Games party.
