    9. She's the first since Vera Caslavska, of the then-country of Czechoslovakia, who won gold at 1964 Tokyo and again four years later at 1968 Mexico City.

    10. Larisa Latynina, of the then-country of the Soviet Union, preceded both athletes, winning gold at 1956 Melbourne and 1960 Rome.

    11. Of course, this also means Simone is the first to snag two all-around wins in non-consecutive Olympics.

    16. The "twisties" are a phenomenon among gymnastics in which athletes lose the connection between their mind and body while performing a skill.
