The record-setting gymnast has conquered Paris with seven gold medals, bringing her career total to 10 overall.

At 27-year-old, Biles became the oldest Olympic all-around winner in 72 years since Maria Gorokhovskaya, then 30, won the event’s inaugural at Helsinki 1952.
With 10 Olympic medals so far, and the chance to win two more before leaving Paris, L.A. would offer Biles a chance to pass swimming great Katie Ledecky for the most medals by a U.S. female Olympian. Ledecky currently owns 13 medals.
