As the world watches the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, all eyes will be on 27-year-old gymnast Simone Biles. After withdrawing from competition at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo to focus on her mental health, she’s hoping to get a little redemption for herself and her teammates, who brought home a silver medal in the women’s team competition.
But Biles has never backed down from a challenge. Throughout her career, she has overcome obstacles and established herself as one of the GOATs. She’s got the receipts to prove it, as the gymnast with the most medals won at a world championship and the most U.S. all-around national titles. And did we mention she has five gymnastics moves named after her?
But Biles isn’t just an amazing athlete, she’s also an advocate, using her platform to elevate important causes including mental health and supporting victims of sexual abuse.
This is the Evolution of Simone Biles.
