Simone Biles is officially the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history — but she's not thinking about that right now.

Biles, 27, won her eighth Olympic medal on Tuesday night after she and her teammates — Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera — dominated for gold in the team final at the 2024 Paris Games. The win meant that she surpassed former American gymnast Shannon Miller, who earned seven medals over the 1992 Barcelona and the 1996 Atlanta Games.

Additionally, Biles' new hardware was her 38th between the Olympics and World Championships — already an all-time record among both male and female gymnasts.

When asked about her new stats, though, at a press conference after their win, Biles brushed it off. "Honestly, I would have had to Google that," she told reporters, including PEOPLE. "I don't keep count, I don't keep stats. I just go out here and do what I'm supposed to and I'm doing what I love and enjoying it, so that's really all that matters to me."

"Yes, it's amazing, now that I hear it, but I don't think I'll truly understand the depth of it until I walk away from the sport," Biles added.

This gold was Biles' fifth in Olympic competition. She also has one silver and two bronze medals to her name.
