By returning for a third Olympics, Biles cemented her status as one of the greatest of all time. Her 11 career Olympic medals and seven gold medals are tied with Věra Čáslavská for the second most by a woman in Olympic artistic gymnastics history behind only Larisa Latynina, who won 18 total medals and nine golds in the 1950s and 1960s. When combining her Olympics success with what she has done at the world championships over the years, Biles now has 41 total medals and 30 gold medals to her credit. While Biles may have been regretting her decision to party, she undoubtedly earned the right to let loose after winning four total medals, including three golds, in Paris. Biles ultimately decided to come back for redemption, and it turned out to be a great decision, as she won gold in the individual all-around, team and vault events, along with silver in the floor exercise.

However, Biles experienced a mental block known in gymnastics circles as “the twisties,” which forced her to pull out of the all-around and most other events. Biles has nothing left to prove in the sport of gymnastics, but it is fair to wonder if she would consider trying to make one more Olympic team since 2028 will be a home Olympics for American athletes in Los Angeles.
