Simone Biles Olympic Medals: A Verified Count and Breakdown

Simone Biles has earned a total of seven Olympic medals: four gold, two silver, and one bronze, across two Games through 2024. Her first medals came at the 2016 Rio Games, where she won a historic quartet in a single Games—gold in team, vault, balance beam, and floor exercise—then added two silvers in Rio as the most decorated gymnast at those Games. At Tokyo 2020 (held in 2021), she earned bronze on balance beam. This profile clarifies counts by edition, apparatus, and medal type based on official results from USA Gymnastics and the IOC.

Team Gold and Record-Setting Performances

At Rio 2016, Biles delivered career-defining performances that reshaped the sport’s record books. Anchoring the U.S. women’s team, she helped secure gold while claiming individual titles on vault and floor exercise and adding a balance beam silver. Her four-medal night in the team final set a standard for impact in a single session, and her scores on vault and floor were unmatched in the field. Across the Games, she amassed more total medals than any other gymnast, establishing the baseline for her Olympic record.

Balance Beam Bronze and Team Context

At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (held in 2021), Biles returned after a multi-year hiatus from major competition and earned a bronze medal on balance beam. She contributed to the U.S. team’s performance in the squads phase, though she did not advance to event finals on all apparatuses. Her balance beam bronze marked her first medal on that apparatus at the Olympic level and demonstrated continued excellence in a discipline where she remains a top-tier competitor.

Discipline and Type Breakdown

Across her Olympic career, Biles has medaled on three different apparatuses and in two competitive contexts: team and individual. Her gold medals span team and two individual apparatuses, showcasing both her collaborative and solo impact. She has yet to earn an Olympic medal on uneven bars or on the floor exercise beyond her 2016 triumph, and she holds no Olympic hardware from any edition of the Games beyond Rio and Tokyo. Understanding the distribution helps frame her legacy in context of longevity and consistency at the highest level.

Summary by Edition

• Rio 2016: 4 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze (6 medals)

How These Medals Compare Historically

Biles stands among the most decorated female gymnasts in U.S. history and globally, particularly for single-Games impact in the modern Olympic era. Her Rio totals exceed most female gymnasts’ entire Olympic hauls, and her Tokyo return added to a cumulative total that remains subject to verification as the IOC and National Governing Bodies maintain official databases. This enduring profile focuses on outcomes that are well-established and unlikely to change barring official revisions or new competitive chapters, which are uncommon at this stage of her career.
