Simone Biles Ends Her 2024 Olympic Games with Four Medals: ‘I’ve Accomplished Way More Than My Wildest Dreams’

Simone Biles is leaving Paris having made herself proud — and having set a few records.

The athlete, already the most decorated gymnast of all time, finished out the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning her fourth medal of the Games, a silver in the women’s artistic gymnastics individual floor routine on Aug. 5.

In a press conference after the event, Biles, 27, told reporters she was immensely proud of her performance, especially considering the difficult road she’d had in getting herself back into competition shape.

“I’ve accomplished way more than my wildest dreams, not just as this Olympics, but in this sport,” she said. “I can’t be mad at my performances. A couple of years ago I didn’t think I’d be back here at an Olympic game.”

Biles was forced to bow out of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after she was struck with a bout of the dreaded “twisties,” which made it difficult for her to safely perform her highly technical flips.

Competing and then walking away with four medals, I’m not mad about it,” she said of her comeback. “I’m pretty proud of myself, and it’s always so exciting to compete.”

She also competed in the women’s individual balance beam final on Monday, but landed in fifth place with a 13.100 score after falling.

The athlete started her Summer Games with a gold in the team event alongside Suni Lee, Hezly Rivera, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles. Then, in the individual all-around, Biles also took gold. She is the oldest gymnast to ever win the all-around.

On Aug. 3, she won her third gold medal of these Games after earning a 15.300 on the vault.

Overall, Biles has now won 11 Olympic medals. She’s won 30 world championship medals, and is the most decorated gymnast of all time.
