Paris 2024: Records broken by Simone Biles broken at the Olympic Games

Widely regarded as one of the greatest artistic gymnastics, Biles has a legendary record in artistic gymnastics events, including the following:

• Biles’s 11 medals include seven gold medals, two silver medals, and two bronze medals across the 2016 Rio Games, 2020 Tokyo Games, and the 2024 Paris Games.
• These 11 medals also makes Biles the most decorated American gymnast of all time. 
• She is also the most decorated gymnast in World Championship history, with 30 medals.
• Her name is now associated with five distinct artistic gymnastic moves. 
• Paris 2024 was Biles’ second time winning medals in team, all-round, vault, and floor exercise after the 2016 Rio Olympics.
