After her wins on Sunday, Biles has 10 career Worlds gold medals, a U.S. record. From NBC Sports:

That broke the all-nations women’s golds record of nine previously shared by the Soviet Union’s Larisa Latynina, Romania’s Gina Gogean and Russia’s Svetlana Khorkina.

The overall record is held by Belarus’ Vitaly Scherbo, who captured 23 medals and 12 golds.

Biles, 18, is now set up to be predicted to win four gold medals at the Rio Olympics, which no gymnast has done since Scherbo took six at Barcelona 1992.

Friend and sister in sport Gabby Douglas became the first reigning Olympic champ to win a world medal since way 1981. Douglas walked away with the silver.

I’m excited to keep watching these ladies on their “road to Rio Olympics”!

Take a look at their powerful routines below:
