Biles, who is 27 years old now, won four medals in the Paris games, three Gold and one Silver. The Silver medal came in her final event, the individual floor exercise. It's an event she has owned - quite literally - but she was slightly off her game in the final.
Still, she now has 11 medals in her Olympic history. That's the most ever for a United States gymnast, and tied for second for all women ever. She was expected to have a 12th medal with her balance beam routine Monday, but a fall dropped her into fifth place there.
Simone Biles in 2028 Games?
Biles has been coy about whether this is the end of her time as an Olympian. The 2028 Olympic Games are in Los Angeles, but at 27, she's already the oldest to ever win the all-around Gold.
"Never say never," Biles said in an interview with USA Today. "The next Olympics is at home, so you just never know. But I am getting really old."
For now, we can celebrate being able to witness greatness as long as we did. Biles was too young to compete in the 2012 Olympics, but we got to see her in 2016 in Rio, and in 2021 in Beijing, before Paris.
And with 11 medals now in her trophy case, she's solidified her case as the Greatest of All Time.
