It was a loud cheer that didn't want to end when Simone Biles secured her sixth OS gold in her career.

The American finished with a total of 59,131 points in the all-around, 1.2 points ahead of the silver medalist.

The silver went to Brazilian Rebeca Andrade and Biles' teammate Sunisa Lee took the bronze. Double American on the podium, thus.

I'm in ecstasy, I couldn't have done it better. I just wanted to come to this competition and do my best. It was tight between me and Rebeca throughout the competition, she's an incredible gymnast, I'm glad she was here and pushed me, says Biles to Eurosport.

She has now taken a total of nine OS medals, six of which are gold.

I've exceeded all my wildest dreams I had before my career. All the girls and guys listening, you can do it! Have fun and dream big, says Biles.

The 27-year-old returned to gymnastics this year, after taking a break from the sport due to mental health issues.

On Tuesday, Biles won her fifth OS gold together with her teammates in the American national team in the team competition.
