Taking the mat on Tuesday (July 30), Biles earned her eighth Olympic medal, becoming the most decorated American gymnast in the history of the Olympics.

As of now, Biles counts 38 combined world and Olympic medals.

Along with Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey, their total score of 171.296 beat out defeated Italy, the silver medalists, by nearly six points, per ESPN . It is the first time Team USA won gold in the artistic gymnastics event since 2016.

“After I finished vault, I was really like ‘whew,’ because there were no flashbacks or anything,” Biles detailed “But I did feel a lot of relief. And, as soon as I landed, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, definitely we’re going to do this.’ Yeah, that’s definitely what I was thinking.”

“I’m so proud of them,” added Chellsie Memmel, the team’s technical lead. “We had some ups and downs in qualifying and they came together as a team. … It was just the teamwork. It was amazing to watch.”

She continued, “I’m not going to lie, I was nervous throughout the whole competition, but they did their job.”
