Simon Biles took to Twitter and complimented the young gymnast on her vault. Biles wrote, “That was definitely a 10 but aight.” Notably, Biles has bagged seven Olympic medals and is regarded as one of the best gymnasts ever. Her record is tied with Shannon Miler?for the most medals won by an American.
