The unstoppable Simone Biles has become the most decorated gymnast in history—male or female.

Simone Biles picked up her 24th and 25th gold medals at the world championships in Stuttgart, Germany on Sunday, breaking the world record of 23 set by male gymnast Vitaly Scherbo in the ‘90s reports People.

Ms. Biles had broken her own record set just a few hours earlier of the most medals for a female gymnast at 21.

The 22-year-old had also nailed some incredible moves during two of her routines at the competition: landing a triple-double in a floor routine and a double-double dismount on the balance beam. Team USA announced on Twitter that the incredible moves will be named after her.

Despite her amazing athleticism and standing as the best in her field in the world, she stays humble and puts herself before her superstardom first.

“I just go out there and compete,” she said in a press conference earlier in the month, according to People. “I try to represent Simone… not ‘Simone Biles’ whenever I go out there, because at the end of the day, I’m still a human being before I’m ‘Simone Biles, the superstar.’"
