Simone Biles earned her seventh Olympic gold medal by soaring to victory in the women's vault final at the Paris Games on Saturday. With her signature Biles II vault, Simone Biles earned the higher score of two. The element, also known as the Yurchenko double pike, is not only very dangerous and super difficult to land, but is the same move that beset Biles with a sudden case of the "twisties" during the Tokyo Olympics. The affliction forced her to withdraw from most of her events that summer, including the vault final.

Novak Djokovic has, perhaps, the most impressive trophy case in tennis history. And while he doesn’t have as many titles overall as Jimmy Connors or Roger Federer (and is nowhere close to the massive number of titles won by Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert), his 24 Grand Slam titles is unmatched in the modern era, as are his 40 Masters level titles.
