Simone Biles takes gold medal after fire alarm goes off
The fire alarm went off Wednesday where the US gymnastics team is staying in Rio, but don’t fret: the athletes and their medals made it out safely.
“Final Five” star Simone Biles tweeted about the false alarm and said she grabbed her gold medal from winning the team competition at the Olympics, as well as her gym bag:
when a fire alarm goes off in your building, grab your medal and gym bag. #everythingisokay

Biles documented the team’s exit via Snapchat:

Luckily it was all just a false alarm as Biles said. Good thing she also knew exactly what her priorities were in case of emergency.
