The 22-year old Simone, competed alongside team USA, and the win made it the fifth consecutive win for the young gymnast, and her team, in five years. She scored the highest points individually, and speaking about her success, the Texan said,

"I guess it's kind of crazy; I don't really think about [it]. I think it's really impressive for someone to be able to do that."

With fifteen gold medals, Simone also holds a world record, and retired gymnast, Nadia Comaneci, told USA TODAY Sports about her,

"If we're talking about domination, nothing like this has ever happened in our sport. I don't think there will ever be anything like that. She's one of a kind."

While the world is celebrating Simone and her GOAT status, everything in her life is not sunshine and rainbows. In August, her brother, Tevin Thomas Biles, got arrested for a murder that happened in Cleveland.

Stacey supported her when the news made headlines with these words,

"The strongest people I have met haven't been given an easier life. They've learnt to create strength and happiness from dark places."

Simone's boyfriend is a retired gymnast who now coaches the Men Gymnastics Program at the World Champions Center in Texas. He is a four-time All American, who is happy to cheer his girlfriend on and celebrate her wins.
