She placed in second in the women’s floor final and came in fifth in the women’s balance beam final.

“I’ve accomplished way more than my wildest dreams, not just at this Olympics, but in this sport. So I can’t be mad at my performances. A couple of years ago I didn’t think I’d be back here at an Olympic game. So competing and then walking away with four medals, I’m not mad about it. I’m pretty proud of myself and it’s always so exciting to compete,” Simone said at a press conference after her achievement today.
She continued, “Obviously it wasn’t my best performances, but at the end of the day, whoever medaled, medaled, and that’s what’s so exciting, because you just never know with gymnastics. I’m not very upset or anything about my performance at the Olympics. I’m actually very happy, proud and even more excited that it’s over, the stress of it.”
“We did our job, you know what I’m saying? It’s hard, but we did it. It means the world that I could come back out here and compete on an international stage again, representing my country. I couldn’t have asked for a better Olympic Games, better support system, better teammates. So yeah, thank you. Thank you, Paris,” she added.
Congratulations to Simone and Team USA on their huge accomplishments at the Paris Olympics!
