To prep for their photoshoot, first, Michael Phelps hands down some medal expertise to both Ledecky & Biles by showing them how to wear their medals. As he tells Ledecky, “I put them on one-by-one.”

The photoshoot was done before Simone Biles could win her fourth gold in the floor exercise, but after won her Bronze medal.
The closing ceremony was on Sunday where Simone the flag bearer for the United State which is something that hasn’t been done by a gymnast in eighty years. It’s been since 1936 since gymnast Al Joachim carried the flag for the U.S.
