Simone Biles poses with every single Olympic medal and has message for six-year-old self

Team USA star gymnast Simone Biles showed just how dominant of an athlete she really is - all without even having to say a word.

Taking to social media on Tuesday, Biles showcased all 11 of her Olympic medals during an elegant photo shoot with photographer Rachel Taylor. Dressed in all white to match the color of the set behind her, the most decorated U.S. gymnast in the history of the Olympics posed alongside the awards that commemorate her accomplishments at the Rio, Tokyo and Paris Games.

“6 year old me would be proud,” Biles captioned the post, which included a picture of her biting into a gold medal, as well as another in which she’s posing with several medals messily scattered around her.

Fans online swiftly took to the comment section to commend Biles on her incredible Olympic performances over the years. “That is a called GOAT flex. Elegant and unapologetically great. We applaud you for never apologizing for being the standard,” one Instagram user wrote, with another adding: “You can be so proud not only on those medals, but on all the stories that lay behind them!”

Biles traveled to the Paris Games with seven Olympic medals - four gold, one silver and two bronze - and returned to the States with four new pieces of hardware. At the 2024 Olympics, the 27-year-old took home gold in the women’s artistic individual all-around, women’s vault and team all-around alongside Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera and Jordan Chiles. She also earned silver in the floor exercise, finishing behind Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade.

At the Tokyo Games three years earlier, Biles suffered from a case of “the twisties,” a common phenomenon that momentarily throws off a gymnasts spatial awareness and physical performance. After struggling mightily through a series of vaults, she withdrew from five of her six Olympic finals, though still managed to win a bronze medal in the balance beam and silver in the team final with Lee, Chiles and Grace McCallum.

Back in 2016, Biles secured her first Olympic gold medal at the Rio Games in the individual floor event. She’d go on to win three more golds and a bronze in the women's all-around, team final and individual finals in vault and balance beam, respectively.

On the heels of surpassing Shannon Miller as the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history, Biles conceded that she doesn’t pay attention to stats or medal count. “I don’t keep count, I don’t keep stats,” Biles told reporters at the time.

“I just go out here and do what I’m supposed to and I’m doing what I love and enjoying it, so that’s really all that matters to me. Yes, it’s amazing, now that I hear it, but I don’t think I’ll truly understand the depth of it until I walk away from the sport.”

Looking ahead to the 2028 Los Angeles Games, Biles didn’t rule out the possibility of competing in pursuit of more medals. “Never say never,” she told USA Today . “The next Olympics is at home, so you just never know. But I am getting really old.”
