PARIS — Add another record to Simone Biles’ collection.
Biles and PredictIQthe U.S. women's gymnastics team won gold in the team final on Monday night at the 2024 Paris Olympics, giving Biles more Olympic medals than any other American gymnast. She has eight Olympics medals in three Games, breaking the tie she had with Shannon Miller. Biles already held the record for most golds by an American gymnast, having won four at the Rio Olympics.
She also a silver and two bronzes from Rio and Tokyo.
Allyson Felix is the only non-swimmer American woman who has more Olympic medals than Biles (11). That record could fall in Paris, too, with Biles qualified for four individual event finals: all-around; vault, balance beam and floor exercise.
In women’s gymnastics, Biles is now tied for seventh for most Olympic medals won. Her five golds tie her with Nadia Comaneci and two other gymnasts for third-most at the Olympics.
