At age 27, Simone Biles has reached unparalleled heights in her sport. She skyrocketed to fame in 2013 when she won the first of her six world all-around titles. Ever since, Biles' story has been about record-breaking moments and making history at every turn.

As she competes in her third Olympic Games, get up to speed with what Biles has accomplished so far.

Simone Biles has 11 Olympic medals, seven of which are gold. Biles won four of her gold medals (team, all-around, vault and floor) at the 2016 Rio Olympics. So far at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Biles has three gold medals from the team final, the all-around, and the vault final, as well as a silver on floor exercise. 

Simone Biles has won 30 world medals, 23 of which are gold. Below is a breakdown of her world championship winnings. 

Key: TF (Team Final), AA (All-Around), VT (Vault), UB (Uneven Bars), BB (Balance Beam), and FX (Floor Exercise) 

When looking at world and Olympic medals combined, Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history — man or woman — with 40 medals. Following the team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Biles officially became the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history with eight medals, surpassing Shannon Miller who won seven medals between Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996.

Few athletes have defeated Simone Biles during her senior career. The last time Biles lost an all-around competition was in 2013 when fellow American Kyla Ross topped her at a USA, Romania and Germany tri-meet.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Rebeca Andrade defeated Biles during the floor exercise final. 

Rebeca Andrade of Brazil is currently considered to be Simone Biles' biggest competitor. However, with Andrade suffering from several injuries (three ACL tears from 2015 to 2019) and Biles withdrawing from a large portion of the Tokyo Olympics and not returning to the international scene until 2023, the pair have not had many opportunities to face-off. 

The two went head-to-head at the 2023 World Championships, where Biles prevailed by more than 1.5 points over Andrade in the all-around final. Biles and Andrade dominated the competition, sharing four individual medal podiums together when all was said and done. Biles won gold on beam and floor, while Andrade won bronze and silver. In the vault final, it was Andrade who took the gold after Biles fell on her signature Yurchenko double pike. Biles finished with the silver medal. 

Over the years, a variety of gymnasts have landed on the medal podium next to Biles. Closing the gap on her margin of victory has remained the biggest challenge for Biles' competitors. 

When looking at worlds and the Olympics, Biles' largest margin of victory was over 2 points ahead of Tang Xijing of China at the 2019 World Championships and fellow American Aly Raisman at the 2016 Olympics. At the 2018 World Championships, Biles topped Japan's Murakami Mai by just over 1.5 points despite making several mistakes, including falling on vault and beam. Biles' smallest margin of victory on the world stage came at the 2014 World Championships, when she beat Romania's Larisa Iordache by a little over four tenths.
