She is recognized as the most decorated American gymnast and continued to build on her remarkable legacy with her latest stellar performance in Paris, and she has not been quiet since making history .
With a breathtaking display, she snagged her career's tenth Olympic gold in the women's vault final, adding a third gold to her haul at this year's Olympics.
At 27 years young, her spellbinding performances have become one of the Olympics' most talked-about narratives, especially following her rebound from withdrawing from the previous Games. Biles secured her newest title with a phenomenal 15.300 in the vault to add to her team and all-round victories in the French capital.
Her dazzling feats drew heaps of praise from her beaming spouse, who couldn't help but express his admiration in bold terms after her win. He exclaimed on Twitter: "Just another reminder that my wife is THE S---".
Earlier, Owens faced some flak for donning one of Biles' medals, prompting a sharp response from her stating: "Crazy thing is, I put my medal on every single one of my family members and took pictures. So don't ever make assumptions. Like y'all are so miserable. Leave us alone."
Event runner-up Rebeca Andrade praised the gymnastics superstar after her stellar performance, stating: "Simone is from another world, but we always try to get better and evolve in the best way possible. To be able to watch her do her incredible gymnastics is an encouragement for everyone to do their best."
In other news, the celebrated Olympian discussed the pressures faced during the games, noting: "The Olympics is such a draining process for the athletes, and it's multiple days of competition, so you definitely have to be on top of your mental as well as physical [state]. So as long as we're doing that, then we're good. And so far I feel good."
She shared the intense attention she got at the Olympic Village affected her: "I have not done much around the Olympic Village, and it's because the first day we got here, and I got to the cafeteria and a lot of people were asking me for photos, like nonstop, and whenever I sat down to eat my anxiety was so bad I was shaking. And I couldn't stop shaking."
Biles went on to reveal how she's been coping with the stress: "I went to the cafeteria to meet my friend yesterday, but before that, I haven't gone back to the cafeteria in five days. I just go to the store, stock up the food and just like, stay here, because it gets me so anxious."
