Stop, drop and ... grab your gold medals?
Not even the threat of a potenital fire could keep all-world gymnast and Team USA superstar Simone Biles from parting ways with her precious hardware.
Biles and her four teammates dominated the all-around gymnastics finals at the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Tuesday and clearly have already grown attached to their gold medals.
On Wednesday, a fire alarm sounded in the the building the Final Five are staying in together, but they made sure to grab their hardware before heading out toward the nearest exit.
"The fire alarm's going off," Biles said as she documented the situation in a Snapchat video captured by TMZ Sports, "but we got our gold!"
Biles, a 19-year-old sensation, won Olympic gold alongside fellow Olympic newcomers Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez, while Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas rounded out a dominant performance for the Final Five.
Now that she survived the false alarm with gold medal intact, Biles looks ahead to the individual all-around competition on Thursday in which she is the heavy favorite to win.
For Biles, at least as far as what she said on social media is concerned, she's already lived out her dreams during these Summer Games:
dreams DO come true
