Four gymnasts went before Simone Biles. By the time she was done it was hard to remember their names.

Biles posted a 15.966 on her floor routine with a performance that was both fluid and electric, another amazing day for the 19-year-old American superstar.

Aly Raisman was by far the second-best competitor, and claimed silver ahead of Great Britain’s Amy Tinkler.

Biles’ fourth gold of the Games came a day after she disappointed, in a sense, by taking bronze on the balance beam (behind teammate Laurie Hernandez)

Raisman went 7th, and no one else had hit 15 yet on the day.
