Simone Biles moved into a tie for No. 2 in women’s history this summer.
Simone Biles was the gymnastics GOAT long before she arrived in Paris, and she added to her prestigious legacy at the 2024 Olympics.
However, there are still names above her in the Olympic record books.
Biles is up to 11 career Olympic medals following her Paris performance, where she collected three golds and a silver across her five events.
Where does she rank among all gymnasts in Olympic history? Here’s a look at the Olympians with the most gymnastics medals in each event:
