Biles flashed big smiles and hugs with teammates and coaches when her final, winning score was revealed.

Five medals, four of them gold, after not competing for two years. Only Simone Biles can pull that off.

Biles capped her first major international competition since the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 with two more golds Sunday, winning the titles on both balance beam and floor exercise. She also won goldsin the team competition and all-around, and a silver on vault.

She’s the most-decorated gymnast in history, male or female, with 37 medals at the world championships and Olympics. Of those, a whopping 27 are gold.

Even more astonishing? In her six appearances at the world championships over the last decade, she’s made 33 finals … and won medals in 30 of them. For those not so great with the math, that’s a 91% success rate. In a sport where Biles is flipping and twisting 10 feet in the air and on a beam that’s 4-inches wide, that’s staggering.
