Recognized as one of the all-time greatest gymnasts, Simone Biles stands as the most decorated gymnast in history, having paved her way with unparalleled skill and charisma.

Simone Biles, born on March 14, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio, embarked on her gymnastics journey at the young age of six and was marked for greatness right from the beginning.

Ineligible for the 2012 London Olympics due to her age, Simone Biles rapidly gained fame in 2013. At only 16 years old, she secured two gold medals at the Antwerp Championship, including the prestigious all-around title. During this competition, she unveiled a revolutionary floor exercise move known as “the Biles,” a double layout with a half twist that has since become iconic in gymnastics history.

Having secured four World Championship gold medals in both 2014 and 2015, the young phenom was a formidable contender as she approached her first Olympic Games in Rio 2016. Biles solidified her dominance by winning gold medals in the all-around, team competition, vault, and floor exercise events, along with earning a bronze medal on balance beam.
