The Olympics are over for Simone Biles, and she’s leaving Paris as the most decorated American gymnast of all time. Simone led her team to gold in the all-around competition and took gold in the individual all-around competition and the individual vault. Her final day of competition didn’t end in gold medals, but she is still a star.
Simone earned a silver medal in the individual floor exercise behind Rebecca Andrade of Brazil. She struggled in the individual balance beam event and took a disappointing fall, leaving her in fifth place.
