Simone Biles is undeniably the greatest of all time.

With her incredible all-around performance for Team USA gymnastics in Paris on Thursday evening, Biles took home her sixth Olympic gold medal and her ninth medal overall. Biles is now the first gymnast to win two all-around gold medals in 56 years (Czechoslovakia's Věra Čáslavská did it in 1964 and 1968), and she is the most decorated American gymnast ever.
