Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast of all time, earning her the GOAT title – the Greatest Of All Time.
The most outstanding gymnast of her generation is returning
to the Summer Games for a third time, hoping to add to her already impressive seven Olympic medals – four gold, one silver and two bronzes. After coming back from a bout of the “twisties” in Tokyo, she has not just looked like her old self over this past year − in many ways, it appears she’s gotten even better. It would not be a surprise at the Paris Games if she matches her performance from last year’s world championships, where she won four golds and a silver.
But what really makes Biles unique is her ability to change the sport by attempting feats that most men wouldn’t even try. Five skills bear her name: two on the floor, two on the vault, and one on the balance beam.

Biles will lead Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee and newcomer Hezly Rivera in the team competition at the games. Biles is heavily favored to win her second all-around Olympic gold medal, and is tasked with leading the Americans to another team victory at the Games.
