Simone Biles becomes most decorated gymnast in Team USA history

Simone Biles made a triumphant comeback Tuesday at the Paris Olympics after dropping out of the 2020 Games, competing on the beam, uneven bars, vault and floor to bring the women's gymnastics team to gold. It's Biles' eighth Olympic medal, making her the most decorated American gymnast. CBS Saturday Morning co-host and CBS News and sports correspondent Dana Jacobson joins from Paris with more.

Simone Well done🌟✨ and well-done team USA🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

0:22 To be fair…she has been the most decorated USA gymnast…she is literally the most decorated gymnast (male or female) of all time. This broke a tie and made her the most decorated Olympic USA gymnast.

The men's gymnastics has taken a hit because NCAA chose to put their funding in other mens sports. This quad felt different. So much more support. Everything has just been beautiful about this Olympic quad. I've been watching since I was a kid in the 70s and I've never seen this much love and comradery before. I love it. Let's support these athletes with positivity. They don't get paychecks for this. What they earn comes from their own self-promotion.

Somethijg about the formula in our country def works. Just look at the medal count and endless achievements.

[robertpalatsky]

Simón is the most decorated gymnast, but….

Larisa Semyonovna Latynina (Russian:)

Her feats took her career total to
18 Olympic medals –
9 gold,
5 silver
4 bronze, a total of medals that stood for decades until it was finally overtaken, 48 years later, by Phelps in London.

Michael Phelps remains the most decorated Olympian of all-time in any sport, capturing an unreal 28 medals over his career.

For Simone, possibly 3 more gold medals and possibly another non-gold medal.
