    USA Gymnastics Sends Three-Word Message to Simone Biles After Making Olympic History

    Simone Biles made history at the Paris Olympics on August 1, then got a big tribute from USA Gymnastics.

    The 27-year-old clinched her second career gold medal in the all-around final, earning a score of 15.066 in the floor exercise to end the competition with a total score of 59.131.

    Just moments after she clinched the gold medal, USA Gymnastics took to X to offer kudos for Biles and her accomplishment.

    "SHE'S DONE IT!" the post read with an image of a goat, for "greatest of all time."

    The organization then noted that Biles achieved an Olympic feat not seen in close to 60 years.

    "Simone Biles becomes the first Woman to win two Olympic All-Around Titles since Vera Caslavska in 1964 and 1968!"

    The Paris Olympics were a journey of redemption for Biles, who became the oldest gymnast to earn a spot on the women's Olympic team since 1950. She was forced to pull out of several events at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after suffering the "twisties," a condition that caused her to lose orientation while in the air.

    Biles was joined on the medal podium by teammate Suni Lee, who earned the bronze medal with a score of 56.465.
