“I just couldn’t believe I did it. I know I did it, but I don’t think I’ve realized it yet. I’ll probably realize it every time I get back to the Village,” Biles said after winning the gold medal in the all-around, her second after her victory in Rio 2016.

“I’m just thrilled with my performance tonight,” she added.

Biles will leave Paris with a total of eleven Olympic medals (five in Rio, two in Tokyo and four in Paris), which is the second highest total. Vera Kaslavaska from Czechoslovakia only behind Larisa Latynina the Soviet Union with 18.

Rebecca Andrade from Brazil was the second most successful gymnast in Paris after Biles and also won four medals. Andrade defeated Biles on the floor and took the gold medal, and in the all-around and on the vault she took silver behind the American.

“I am very happy and proud of what I have achieved. We came here every day to compete and perform. Gymnastics is not an easy sport, it demands a lot from our bodies and minds.”

“I was confident that I could handle all the pressure and I worked with my coach to achieve what we did,” she said.

Andrade also led Brazil to its first ever team medal. “Our bronze medal in the team event was very important to me. It was something we dreamed of as a team and something I really wanted for myself,” said Andrade.

In the men’s competition, Japan’s Oka Shinnosuke won four medals, including three gold medals. This makes him the winner of the most individual medals in the men’s field. As an individual competitor, Oka was crowned all-around champion and won the title on the high bar and a bronze medal on the parallel bars. “I didn’t really expect to win a gold medal on the high bar. I didn’t make any mistakes today and I’m very happy with my routine,” he said after winning gold on the high bar.

Oka was also part of the Japanese team that won gold. It was his first gold medal at these Olympics. “My favorite is obviously the gold medal in the team final because we worked so hard for it. It’s a collective result,” he said. “After the team final, the pressure was off my shoulders. I was just able to perform with less pressure. I’m happy that I did so well.”

The Chinese men won the most medals in Paris, but not the most gold. Liu Yang And Zou Jingyuan repeated their gold medals as they successfully defended their titles on rings and parallel bars.
