RIO DE JANEIRO -- Even Simone Biles was blown away by Simone Biles.
For a fourth time at these Olympics, she finished the day atop the medals podium Tuesday, watching the U.S. flag rise in her honor. No female gymnast has won more at a single Games. No American, male or female, has more period.
Add in her bronze medal on balance beam, and she claimed an Olympic medal every chance she got. Think about that. She competed in five finals – team, all-around, vault, balance beam and floor exercise – and is going home with a shiny souvenir from each one.
