Simone Biles is the GOAT!
The 24-year-old Olympic gymnast has just won her seventh all-around title at the 2021 U.S. Gymnastics Championships on Sunday (June 6) in Ft. Worth, Texas.
This is the seventh year in a row that Simone has won, leaving her undefeated since 2013!
Simone Biles may be one of the most decorated gymnasts of all time, but she’s not entirely sure just how many medals she has!
In her new Vogue interview, the 23-year-old gymnast revealed that she knows she has a lot but would have to Google for an exact number.
“I should probably memorize this answer, but it keeps changing,†she said.
When someone called out, “The most!â€, Simone replied with, “Yeah, I do have the most… I think it’s at 25, but I’m not really sure. I would have to google it.â€
Simone has a total of 30 Olympic and World Championship medals, making her the third most decorated gymnast!
Back in October, she picked up five more medals at the 2019 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, making her the most decorated American gymnast.
Simone also recently picked up a different kind of trophy to add to her collection!
The 2020 BET Awards took place virtually this weekend!
During the ceremony, there were quite a few performances, including one from Jennifer Hudson, right before a new trailer for her upcoming Aretha Franklin biopic aired.
One of the winners includes Marsai Martin, who took home the honor of the Young Stars Award, where she beat out her black-ish co-star Miles Brown, Storm Reid, Asantee Black, Alex Hibbert and Jahi Di’Allo Winston.
Simone Biles also won an award. She won Sportswoman of the Year, against Ajeé Wilson, Claressa Shields, Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams.

Simone Biles took on the handstand challenge!
Normally, you would do a handstand and try to put on a shirt, but the Olympic gymnast showed off her skills and put a different twist on it.
Simone not only did the challenge, but she took her pants off, with her feet for it!
Tom Holland showed off his hot body as he did the handstand challenge, and he nominated Jake Gyllynhaal and Ryan Reynolds to do it as well.

Simone Biles is firing back at USA Gymnastics.
The Olympic gymnast voiced her concerns on Twitter on Saturday (March 14), her 23rd birthday.
USA Gymnastics first tweeted, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the most decorated gymnast of all time, @simonebiles! We know you will only continue to amaze us and make history!”
Simone then replied, “How about you amaze me and do the right thing… have an independent investigation.”
Simone‘s fellow Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman shared a screenshot of the exchange on Instagram, captioning it, “This. Is. AWESOME. @simonebiles I love you!!!! 💪”
Aly Raisman has called out USA Gymnastics as well for how it has handled former team doctor Larry Nassar‘s years of abuse.
ICYMI, see how Simone Biles also recently stood up to toxic beauty competitions.
