The GOAT made history individually, too.
During her first Olympics in Rio in 2016,Simone Bilesliked tojokingly callher 22-year-old teammate Ali Raisman grandma.
Eight years later, its 27-year-oldBiles who is the grandma of the team.
Winning gold leveled up that record.
While Team USAs success was hardly a surprise, Italy hadnt necessarily been seen as the likely silver medalist.
Still, they put up 165.494 points, topping Brazils 164.497 by almost a point.
It was Italys first medal in thewomens team event in 96 yearsand Brazils first-ever medal in the category.
Behind them, Team Great Britain missed the podium by 0.234.
Paris is a U.S. redemption tour, asBiles has called it.
