Only a select few can relate to Simone Biles' struggles when it comes to properly presenting her Olympic medals.

Fortunately, Biles has a seasoned veteran in the American camp who was willing to offer her a helping hand.

With retirement on the horizon, Michael Phelps, whose medal collection is unrivaled, relayed a crucial tip to the gymnastics star, as Biles took to social media Sunday to reveal how to properly stack her five Olympic medals.

It's a trick the 23-time gold medalist Phelps is more than familiar with, after collecting 28 total medals throughout his storied career.

To get a better look at their hauls from Rio, the pair, along with swimmer Katie Ledecky showed off their impressive collections on the latest Sports Illustrated cover:
