Simone Biles may be adding some2024 Paris Olympics-inspired ink.

The gymnast, 27, whowon a gold medal in the women's all-around final (a competition she first won gold in at the 2016 Rio Olympics), revealed in a recent GRWM video that she might memorialize her third Olympics with a new tattoo.

According to Teen Vogue, Biles, who is officially the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history, got the Olympic rings tattooed in March 2017. Her other body ink include the phrase "And still I rise,"her birth year, 1997,two tiny butterflies, and the words "Golden" and "XO" tattoo, per POPSUGAR.

Biles candidly described the meaning of her "And still I rise" tattoo in her Netflix seriesSimone Biles Rising.

“Before I got this tattoo, it was a saying that I loved — obviously, Maya Angelou — and I was like, ‘And still I rise is perfect,’ because I feel like that’s kind of the epitome of my career and my life story," she said. "Because I always rise to the occasion, and after -

all of the traumas and downfalls, I’ve always risen.”

It's no surprise that Biles may get some new body art after the Olympics, as she and her teammates Jade Carey,Sunisa “Suni” Lee,Jordan Chiles,andHezly Rivera also won gold in the women’s gymnastics team final.

After being forced to withdraw from the Tokyo Olympicsdue to experiencing the disorienting condition known as thetwisties, competing with her teammates proved to be an achievement in itself.

“At the beginning of the day, I started off with therapy this morning, so that was super exciting. I told her I was feeling calm and ready and that’s kind of exactly what happened," she told reporters, including PEOPLE, at a press conference following the women’s team final.

"After I finished vault, I was relieved. I was like, ‘Phew,’ because there were no flashbacks or anything," said Biles. "I did feel a lot of relief, and as soon as I landed vault, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m definitely — we’re going to do this.' "
