Simone Biles is a name that changed the sports world forever. The fact that she is one of the most decorated Olympians of all time is just half the side of the coin. She is the one who defined gymnastics for what it is today, and her undaunting spirit is the reason she’ll always be remembered as a legend.

In an ever-changing game of gymnastics, Simone has been the only constant figure for half a decade. Seven Olympic medals, twenty-five world championship medals, and the title of the greatest gymnast ever. However, what truly defines Simone Biles is her larger-than-sports image and her attitude towards the game.

How did Simone change the gymnastics world forever?

It’s not just about medals and accomplishment. Her dominance over gymnastics comes from the fact that millions of people look up to her. She is one of very few athletes who became larger than the sport they played. Furthermore, it’s not easy to be in her shoes, and yet she carries herself like being Simone Biles is the easiest thing in the world.

Sharing what it’s like to be her, Simone said, “I truly do feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders at times. I know I brush it off and make it seem like pressure doesn’t affect me but damn sometimes it’s hard.”
