Simone Biles' spectacular 2024 Olympics came to an end Monday, as she won her fourth medal in Paris on the floor exercise. She finished with three golds (team, all-around, vault) and a silver (floor), bringing her total number of Olympic medals to 11: seven gold, two silver and two bronze.

Biles' dominance in modern gymnastics is unmatched. She is now the most decorated American gymnast, male or female, and has the most gold medals of any American gymnast, male or female. Internationally, her Olympic medal count is surpassed only by one woman, Larisa Latynina of the Soviet Union, and is tied with another, Vera Caslavska of Czechoslovakia.
