Can everyone pause all activity for a minute? We need to discuss an individual of national, nay, global importance. Her name is Simone Biles.

Actually, let me rephrase: this is three-time All-Around World Champion β¨ Simone Biles β¨.

The Columbus, Ohio native stunted oh-so-casually on October 29 when she became the first woman to capture three consecutive gold medals in the all-around segment of the World Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.


That means she earned the highest combined score in four events: floor, beam, vault, and uneven bars. NBD.
Wait, there's more: Guess who won the silver medal in the all-around category? That other American gymnastic superstar, Gabby Douglas!

There was plenty of support from the gymnastics community on Twitter on their one-two victory, too.
HOLY COW! @Simone_Biles you're a BEAST! 3 BACK 2 BACK WORLD TITLES & Gabs @gabrielledoug with SILVER! SO proud of you gals! πΊπΈ #Glasgow2015
CONGRATULATIONS to three-peat World Champion @Simone_Biles & silver medalist @gabrielledoug :) You guys rocked it!!!!!! ππΌπΊπΈππΌπΊπΈ @USAGym
Wowwww @Simone_Biles and @gabrielledoug β€οΈπ
QUEENS. π
nothing compares to having USA on your back and @gabrielledoug by your side πβ€π love you
And Biles appears to be just as amazed with herself as her followers are.
Just to put her brilliance into perspective: even after making two costly mistakes during the world championships, Biles still came out ahead of Douglas by 1.083 points β which is a lot in the context of gymnastics scoring.

See you at the 2016 Summer Olympics, queen!
