Simone Biles set yet another Olympics milestone after becoming just the third woman to win the gymnastics Individual All-Round Final twice after Soviet Union’s Larisa Latynina (1956 and 1960) and Vera Caslavska of Czechoslovakia (1964 and 1968).
The 27-year-old American finished with 59.131 points to claim her second gold medal in Paris in what was an impressive performance, with teammate Suni Lee claiming the silver medal at the event.
“I just couldn’t believe that I did it. I know what I did but I don’t think it’s hit me just yet,” The Ohio born star said after her electric performance.
Biles also broke a 120 year old record by becoming the only US gymnast to win six gold medals at the Olympics.
