Widely regarded as the greatest gymnast of all time, Simone Biles has revolutionized the sport with her extraordinary skill, and in the process has become a symbol of resilience, humility, and advocacy for mental health. She has captured six All-Around World Championship titles, making her the most decorated gymnast in World Championships history with 30 medals, including 23 gold. An eleven-time Olympic medalist, Biles’ technical prowess has led to an unprecedented five gymnastic skills being named after her. Her autobiography, Courage to Soar, became a New York Times bestseller, and her remarkable story was brought to life in the Netflix series Simone Biles Rising. She also supports initiatives that help young people in foster care and adoption systems.
