The top two qualifiers and the only two gymnasts to score above 15.0 on floor in the all-around event, the pair performed the two most difficult routines in the competition. So it wasn’t a surprise when they finished, in a repeat of the all-around results, with gold and silver. Amy Tinkler from Great Britain won bronze.

Happy as they were the results, both Biles and Raisman say they were prouder that they earned higher scores on their last routines in Rio than they had during the rest of the competition.

“I think we put the cherry on top with Aly and me finishing on floor as well as we did,” said Biles.

Biles’ and Raisman’s two medals gave the U.S. women nine in Rio, surpassing the eight the team won in 2008.

That’s five medals for Biles, 19, and her fourth gold in Rio—which ties her with four other gymnasts for the record at a single Olympic Games. Those records are decades old, however, set at a time when the scoring for gymnastics was different, and the skills gymnasts threw in their routines were far tamer than the acrobatics that athletes like Biles and Raisman pull off today. In the modern era, where more difficult and intricate skills are rewarded, no other gymnast has the level and variety of skills on vault, beam, bars and floor as Biles.

“There is some sense of relief,” she said after finally completing her seven days of competition in Rio. “But I am sad at how fast this whole thing went. I’m excited it’s over but kind of sad too.”

U.S. National Team Coordinator Martha Karolyi, who coached Romania’s Nadia Comeneci to gold in her first Olympics, in 1976, said both Comeneci and Biles “are ahead of their time. Nadia was so much better than everybody else at that time, and right now I think Simone is so much better than the whole field all over the world.”

Aimee Boorman, Biles’ longtime coach, called the Games “fulfilling,” despite her star pupil falling shy of the five golds some had expected from her when she earned a bronze in the beam.

Raisman, who at 22 is affectionately known as “grandma” by her younger teammates, was happy with silver, joking that in any competition with Biles, second is as good as winning. “She’s just in another level,” Raisman said Tuesday. “It’s amazing; it’s hard to put into words. I can’t believe she has four gold medals. I’m in awe of watching her and I’ve trained with her for so long. Laurie said before floor today, if you get silver you’re the best because Simone doesn’t count.”

Each member of the Final Five, as the U.S. women named themselves, leaves Rio with at least two medals — their team gold and hardware from their individual events. It’s a fitting finale for the group that will be the last to compete as a quintet. In 2020, the Olympic teams will consist of only four members. It’s also the last team that will be overseen by Karolyi, who retires after Rio.

“It’s been a phenomenal experience, and the whole team did a very good job,” says Biles. “And we ended on a good note for Martha.”

The 16-year-old from Beijing claimed her first major title but shared the glory with three other gymnasts — American Madison Kocian and Russian duo Viktoriia Komova and Daria Spiridonova — after all scored 15.366 points to the amazement of spectators at the Hydro Arena.

It is the first time that more than three gymnasts have shared a world title in the 112-year history of the championships, although five shared parallel bars silver back in 1922.

“I was nervous when I was waiting for their scores,” admitted Fan, who had competed her acrobatic routine between the bars first of the four and had a tense although amusing wait for the scores.

She was followed by 2011 champion Komova, who had fallen off her signature apparatus during the women’s team final in which Russia finished fourth.

This time the 20-year-old made no mistake dismounting cleanly as intended only to see she had earned the same score as Fan.

Both then stood side by side watching expectantly as next Kocian and then Spiridonova performed only to see the same mark appear on the scoreboard to gasps of disbelief and laughter.

“I am personally shocked,” said Komova. “It’s the first time judges were having such hard time deciding on the champion on bars.”

The scores are divided into difficulty and execution.

Fan’s performance was the most difficult while Kocian and Komova scored highest for execution. But when the scores were added together they all came to the same mark.

“It made me laugh to see four gymnasts with the same score, but I’m happy for all of the other gold medallists,” said Fan, who also got a silver medal with China in the team event.

No silver or bronze was awarded with America’s Gabrielle Douglas, team gold and all-around silver medallist, finishing next best with 15.133 in the eight woman field.

All four hugged and kissed each other and the flags of the three countries were marched out onto the presentation stage and the Chinese, Russian and American national anthems were duly played one after the other.
