During apress conferencethat PEOPLE was present for after one of the events at the Bercy Arena in Paris, Biles told reporters that she would have “had to Google” the news that she’d broken Miller’s record.

“I don’t keep count, I don’t keep stats,” she said. “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.”

Biles continued, “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.”
