MEDALS, MEDALS EVERYWHERE

22-year-old Simone counts 15 gold medals in her collection of 21 World Championship accolades, and she also holds 5 Olympic medals, 4 gold, and 1 bronze.

Simone's 21st medal was awarded to Team USA for the Women's Team Final event, but that may not be the last medal she takes home this year.

WHAT IS STILL AHEAD FOR SIMONE BILES AT THE STUTTGART WC

Simone will be competing over the weekend in the Women's All-Around Final. She is a contender in all four gymnastics individual event finals: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.

THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE IS WITHIN HER REACH

With four medals up for grabs, the ultimate record may be within Simone's reach because she may just scoop up another medal or two.

The world will be watching Stuttgart this weekend, holding its breath to see if the Best Gymnast Ever can claim her rightful place as the Most Decorated Ever.
