Simone Biles is still celebrating going for the gold at the Olympics as she put her hard work on display.

The 27-year-old has cemented herself as the most decorated gymnast in history, and the athlete decided to show off her bling in a new photoshoot.

The gymnast and her Olympic medals from Rio (2016), Tokyo (2020) and Paris (2024) gathered for a photo shoot.

After her record-breaking performance in Paris at the 2024 Olympic Games, the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history, 27, took a moment to show off her successes in a photo shoot with all 11 of her Olympic medals.

“6 year old me would be proud,” the gymnast captioned a set of photos on her social media platforms on Tuesday, August 27.

In the first image, Biles sat in a white dress on a white photo shoot set, smiling as she bit into one of her many gold medals.

The Olympian went to Paris with seven medals, and returned with 11, including gold in the women's all-around and individual vault final. All of them appeared in the photo shoot — each of them neatly draped to show their splendor. In one of the three images, Biles let the medals have the spotlight to themselves.

Biles earned her first Olympic gold medal in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016. That year, she won four golds and a bronze for the women's all-around, team final and individual finals in vault, floor and balance beam. Her 2016 Team USA teammates consisted of Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian, Laurie Hernandez and Gabby Douglas.

At the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Biles faced some struggles, including a case of the "twisties," which forced her to withdraw from several events, though she still managed to claim a bronze in balance beam, as well as a silver medal in the team final with her teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum.

Biles returned for the 2024 Paris Olympics, along with Lee, 21, and Chiles, 23, with the addition of Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera and secured gold in the team final for Team USA.

Between group and individual wins at the Paris Games, Biles pushed past American gymnast Shannon Miller, who earned seven medals over the 1992 Barcelona and 1996 Atlanta Games, to become the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history.
