Simone Biles is now the most decorated American gymnast in history with 11 medals from the 2016 Rio Olympics, 2020 Tokyo Olympics and 2024 Paris Olympics
“6 year old me would be proud 🥹🤎🤞🏾,” Biles, 27, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, August 27, alongside a photo of her playfully biting down on one of her gold medals.
Biles made her Olympics debut in Rio de Janeiro at age 19. She received her first gold medals in the individual all-around, vault and floor finals, a bronze medal on the balance beam and a gold medal as part of Team USA. “I just felt like it would be a little bit better to take a back seat, work on my mindfulness,' Biles said in a press conference in 2021. 'And I knew that the girls would do an absolutely great job. And I didn't want to risk the team a medal for kind of my screwups, because they've worked way too hard for that. So I just decided that those girls need to go and do the rest of our competition.
Biles is now the most decorated American gymnast in history. While she’s still soaking up her wins from Paris, Biles explained that she isn’t ready to think about what’s on the horizon.
