Simone Biles Now Has More Gold Medals Than Any Female American Gymnast in History
Simone Biles has officially completed her first Olympic Games. She ended her competition in Rio with a gold medal on floor exercise.
Biles earned a score of 15.966 (6.900 difficulty, 9.066 execution, 0.0 penalties). Her win was not unexpected. Her was the highest score on this event during the individual all-around competition. She only needed to beat herself, and she did that.
Expectations couldn't have been higher for the Spring, Texas-native. 19-year-old Biles is the reigning three-time world champion. She'll come away from these Olympics with 4 gold medals and one bronze.
Her teammate Aly Raisman won silver.
Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman are tied for the second-most gold medals for a U.S. gymnast.
It's safe to say that Biles is the greatest gymnast in the world, and now she has the hardware to prove it.
