Biles, who is being widely touted as "perhaps the best female gymnast in history" and "a once-in-a-lifetime athlete", was a huge part of her team's epic win, producing the best vault, beam and floor routines of the competition.
To try to put her greatness into perspective, most top gymnasts are dominant in one event but Biles is the exception. She is basically unbeatable on the floor, on the vault, and on the beam.
Her insane floor exercise routine even includes a manoeuvre called "The Biles" that apparently no one else even attempts.
"At this point in time, nobody can beat Simone Biles," former Olympic Gold medallist Nastia Liukin, turned Rio gymnastics commentator declared.
Within the gymnastics community, her dominance has long been established. Biles is already the most successful woman in the history of the World Championships, with 10 gold medals accumulated over the past three years. But she is poised to make history this week as she goes for gold in five events. If successful, Biles will become the first female gymnast - and only the second woman in any discipline - to win five gold medals at a single Games. Her gravity-defying routines are so difficult that she is predicted to walk away with each and every one of them.
If you weren't already part of the Simon Biles Appreciation Society, this is what the champion sportswoman had to say about fame:
"I never really think about it, because it's something you can't expect and you don't know what it's going to be like until it happens. So I just do everyday life."
