Biles made a stunning Olympic debut in Rio five years ago. With four gold medals and a bronze medal, she established her presence in gymnastics almost instantly. However, she could only win a silver medal and bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics this year.

During the Games, she withdrew from some of her medal events citing the need to take care of her mental health. After returning to the United States, the 24-year-old engaged herself in various activities, and appeared in the Met Gala this past Monday.
