Simone Biles set yet another record on the final day of the World Gymnastics Championships in Doha, Qatar, as she becomes the first American to win a medal in every event at worlds.

Biles, 21, secured the feat with a gold in the floor exercise Saturday; she had previously won gold in the team final, individual all-around and vault in addition to a silver in the uneven bars and bronze in the balance beam.

The Soviet Union’s Yelena Shushunova, in 1987, was the last woman to medal in every event at a single world championships.
