Nail art has long been a form of self-expression, but for athletes at the 2024 Olympics, manicures are the trendiest way to represent their home countries. Some added patriotic flairs to their paint, incorporating the color schemes and symbols of their national flags, while others opted for classic styles like French tips.

From gymnasts like Simone Biles to sprinters like Sha’Carri Richardson, see how athletes are sporting nail art at the Paris Games.
