Aly Raisman signed off her Olympic Games with a silver medal in the floor routine.
The defending champion scored a 15.500 for her precise tumbling and own arsenal of extremely difficult tumbling skills.
But it wasn't enough to overhaul fellow American gymnast Simone Biles with Britain's Amy Tinkler, who at just 16, winning bronze.
It was Raisman's third medal in Rio and it could well be the end for the 22-year-old in gymnastics.
And if she does bow out, Raisman will become one of the most decorated American gymnasts of all time with SIX medals.
Raisman's medal haul leaves her just one behind Shannon Miller.
Mihai Brestyan, Raisman’s long-time coach, said: "Aly was the spine of the team in 2012, spine of the team here, the most trusted gymnast.
"A medal is a medal. It doesn’t matter the colour that much."
Raisman captained the Fierce Five, which won the country’s second ever team gold medal. In addition to her gold medal on floor, she also earned a second silver in the individual all-round.
She helped the Final Five to team gold again in Rio, making Raisman and team-mate Gabby Douglas the only Americans with back-to-back team golds.
Raisman said: "I knew that the gold was out of the question so the silver for me genuinely feels like the gold medal. So I was so happy and so proud."
Massachusetts-based Raisman took more than a year off before deciding to return for Rio.
At last year’s world championships, she was fourth in qualifying and didn’t make the all-around final.
But the USA team turned to experience and it has reaped its rewards.
Raisman added: "I feel like I’m better than I am in 2012, so I’m very proud of that.
"It’s obviously not something that people expect or that’s easy to do after taking a year off and having it be the second Olympics or being the grandma or whatever they like to say. So I’m happy I proved everyone wrong."
Raisman has slipped under the radar having not received the attention of Biles in her first Olympics.
But after yet another medal, Raisman stands to end her career as one of the USA’s finest.
