Simone Biles

Simone Biles established herself as a dominant force in artistic gymnastics during the mid-2010s. She secured three consecutive World all-around titles from 2013 to 2015, a feat unprecedented for a woman. During this period, she also earned three World floor exercise titles (2013-2015), two World balance beam titles (2014, 2015), and contributed to the American team's gold medals at the 2014 and 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Biles made history as the first African-American to become world all-around champion and, with ten gold medals, holds the record for the most gold medals won by a female gymnast in World Championships history. Her fourteen total medals make her the most decorated American female gymnast in World Championships history. She also achieved three consecutive United States national all-around championships from 2013 to 2015. Her exceptional career continued at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she earned four gold medals in the team, all-around, vault, and floor exercise events, along with a bronze medal on the balance beam. Biles's innovative skills and consistent excellence have redefined the sport, solidifying her status as a legendary figure in gymnastics.
