yeah and she can still further her lead with wins in individual all around Vault and Floor ex and a possible silver on beam unless somebody has a fall during either individual all around or Apparatus finals and she wins gold Andrade silver and maybe Alice D'amato of Italy bronze which would be the first Apparatus medal for Italy ever the eastern European teams used to dominant until the Soviet Union dissolved in the early 1990s granted the US has won a team all around medal in women's artistic Gymnastics at 10 of the last 11 Olympics 4 gold 4 silver 2 Bronze and only 5 US women have won the individual all around gold Mary Lou Retton 1984 Carly Patterson 2004 Nastia Liukin 2008 Gabby Douglas 2012 and Simone Biles 2016 and likely 2024 Mary Lou's average winning score was 9.9 Carly's average winning score was 9.600 Nastia's average winning score was 15.833 Gabby's average winning score in 2012 was 15.56 Simone's average winning score in 2016 was 15.61 she's only in 3 individual Apparatus finals this Olympics 16 on vault if she sticks both landings and 16.8 on floor if she sticks all landings and a 15.8 on beam is possible so she may average 16.2 this Olympics and that would make her the 2nd most decorated female Gymnast in Olympic history behind Larisa Latynina of Soviet union with 12 medals 8 Gold 2 Silver 2 Bronze and almost 3/4 of Simone's medals from World Championships and the Olympics are Gold 28 gold 7 Silver 7 Bronze and that's not even taking into account next year's Worlds in Jakarta
