With a boat parade along the Seine, and an unfortunate downpour of rain to kick off this year’s summer Olympics, people across the world raced to their TVs to watch some of the world’s most talented athletes compete in the city of Paris. At its end, one athlete has yet again proven herself an international legend: Simone Biles. Born in Columbus Ohio, and competing at the Olympics since 2016, she has been a favorite of many to watch. This year, she claimed two of three gold medals won by the 2024 U.S. women’s gymnastics team (women’s artistic individual all-around, women’s vault), and dazzled us all with her stunning performance. But to viewers at home, it shouldn’t come as too much of a shock. Biles is the most decorated gymnast in the U.S., now with a record-breaking total of nine olympic gold medals, and thirty world championship medals to her name. She has been an icon in gymnastics for over a decade, only continuing to impress. Viewers across the country anticipate the sight of her gravity defying flips at every Olympics as she executes routines that bring pride to the country.
