Simone Biles continued stuffing her trophy case Saturday, winning a gold medal in the gymnastics world championships -- a record-tying 23rd medal at the competition
.
Biles has two more events Sunday -- the floor exercise and the balance beam -- and will likely pass Vitaly Scherbo, a Belarussian who competed in the 1990s, as the most decorated gymnast in world championship history. Biles apparently wasn't overwhelmed by Saturday's amazing feat. Someone asked her what it felt like to back up the claim she is the greatest gymnast ever with a record-tying medal.
