Simone Biles is running out of historic thresholds to cross off. 

The 27-year-old American gymnast led the US to a team gold in the women's gymnastics final on Tuesday, clinching the medal with her floor routine. Italy took silver. 

For Biles, Tuesday's gold medal marks her eighth Olympic medal overall. This makes her the most decorated Olympic gymnast in US history, as she surpassed "Magnificent Seven" star Shannon Miller for most career Olympic medals.

Miller last competed in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, when she also led the U.S. to a team gold. Miller also won an individual gold in balance beam that year, which made up her only two Olympic gold medals.

But Biles' Olympic gold medal total is now up to five. She already held the record for most golds by an American gymnast, having won four at the Rio Olympics.

If Biles has a similar performance in Paris, she could possibly make a run at the all-time world record for career gold medals by a woman gymnast. That record is currently held by former Soviet Union gymnast Larisa Latynina, who has nine in total. 

With five, Biles has a chance to catch Latynina in Paris. Biles qualified for four individual event finals: all-around; vault, balance beam and floor exercise.
