Biles told Hoda Kotb on NBC's "TODAY" show.

"It means more than all of the golds because I pushed through so much the last five years and the last week while I’ve even been here."

This is most likely the last time she would perform at the Olympics and she was all smiles during and after her routine according to the Huffington Post.

She had pulled out of earlier events due to her disorientation and said that it wasn't an excuse, she was literally getting lost in the air according to the Daily Mail.

Social media users react to Biles performance

@AllThingsGymPod:

"Proud is an understatement. Simone Biles may be adding another medal to her Olympic collection, but what’s even more special is the way that she set a boundary for herself on the world stage. No medal is worth your physical or mental health. This one she did for herself."
