PARIS, France — When the Queen Bey collaborates with the Queen of gymnastics, you're bound to make magic.
And that's exactly how a new video from NBC Olympics -- teeing up Simone Biles' epic performance during the women's gymnastics all-around final -- feels. And it immediately gives you goosbumps.
The video, shared from the NBC Olympics X account, features a video narrated by none other than Beyoncé, set to the song "Just For Fun" from her latest album "Cowboy Carter."
It starts with an undisputed fact spoken by an echoing commentator's voice: "Simone Biles. The Greatest. Of. All. Time."
As the video goes on, images of Biles leaping and soaring through her routines in slow motion fade by, intertwined with Beyoncé's spoken words, powerful lyrics and awe-inspired reaction from the commentators.
"Let's talk about power. Because really, that's what this story is about," the singer says. "Physical power. It's beauty. It's wonder. The way it never stops amazing you."
"Then, there's spiritual power. The kind that really matters. The kind you can't see. Only sense. The power you need in those moments when life goes a little sideways on you," referring to the unsettling moments from the 2020 Tokyo Games when Biles decided to withdraw from competition after experiencing the "twisties."
After the 2020 Games, it was unclear if Biles would return to gymnastics, but after taking time off, she returned to competing in her "redemption tour," ultimately earning a spot to represent her country in the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.
She already won gold earlier this week with Team USA in the women's gymnastics team event, and Thursday night's primetime broadcast will show her earlier performance in the individual all-around competition, for which she made history.

Beyoncé references that comeback and Biles' "lasting power," continuing in her narration: "Only a select few know what it feels like to get to the top and stay there -- and somehow keep getting better."
The Houston native closes, giving a nod to another Houston great, saying: "Simone Biles inspires me. And I'm pretty sure she inspires you, too. Such confidence in her strength. Such beauty in her power. Such a lesson in her story. Brilliance. It doesn't come easy. "
"Gold can be a hell of a journey. And the Greatest of All Time is willing to put that title on the line every time she walks out there. Take your best shot, world," Beyoncé dares. "She's ready for you."
