Simone Biles Posts Photos with Her Olympic Medals: '6 Year Old Me Would Be Proud'

Simone Biles is still basking in the golden glow of her historic performance at the 2024 Olympics.

The U.S. gymnastics superstar posted a series of pictures on X with all of her Olympic medals, along with the caption: "6 year old me would be proud" and three emojis.

Biles' 11 Olympic medals are the most ever by a U.S. gymnast. She is tied with Věra Čáslavská of Czechoslovakia as the second-most decorated female gymnast in Olympic history.

The Paris Games saw Biles add four medals to her career total. She won gold in the team event, individual all-around and vault.

This marks the second Olympics that Biles earned at least four medals. She won five at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.

At 27 years old, Biles became the oldest American gymnast to compete at the Olympics since 1952. She hasn't ruled out competing at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, but admitted age is starting to catch up to her.

"Never say never," Biles told reporters after wrapping up her run in Paris. "The next Olympics is at home, so you just never know, but I am getting really old."

Regardless of what the future holds for Biles, she has already secured her spot on the short list of best athletes of all time.

If anyone doubts that, Biles has the pictures with the hardware to prove it.
