Simone
Biles

At 16, she claimed her first all-around world title in Antwerp, opening a run that would grow into a record six such crowns.

At her Olympic debut in Rio, she claimed the all-around title, one of four gold medals earned across the Games.

With floor exercise gold at Rio 2016, Simone Biles secured her fourth title of the Games—team, all-around, vault, and floor—the most golds by a US gymnast at a single Olympics.

On floor and beam, Biles landed two firsts: a triple-twisting double tucked salto and a double-double dismount. Both elements now carry her name in the code of points.

After the twisties forced her to withdraw mid-competition in Tokyo, Biles prioritised her health and returned to the floor to claim beam bronze.

Simone Biles became the first woman to land the Yurchenko double pike vault in competition. The element was codified as the Biles II, carrying the highest difficulty value on vault.

With a sixth all-around world title, Biles collects her 30th world medal and becomes the most decorated gymnast in history.

On her return to the Olympic stage after a two-year absence, Simone Biles led the United States to team gold in Paris.

Three years after stepping back in Tokyo and time away from the sport, Biles returned to the Olympic stage in Paris and reclaimed the all-around title.

Simone Biles won the vault final in Paris, securing her third title of these Games and her seventh Olympic gold, adding another chapter to her run atop artistic gymnastics.
