Biles began gymnastics at the age of six, and by eight, she was competing in local and state competitions, quickly demonstrating her remarkable talent, power, and precision. Her early dedication and natural ability set the foundation for her extraordinary journey in elite gymnastics.
Her international career began in 2013 at the American Cup, where she won the all-around title. That same year, she claimed her first World Championship, signaling the start of her dominance in the sport. Over the following decade, Biles continually pushed the limits of gymnastics with her innovative skills, unmatched athleticism, and ability to perform flawlessly under immense pressure. She became known for combining speed, strength, and grace, creating routines that consistently wowed judges and spectators alike.

Biles’ achievements continued at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she earned four medals: gold in the team final, gold in the individual all-around, gold in the vault final, and silver in the floor exercise. These accomplishments reinforced her position as one of the most decorated gymnasts of all time. She became the first American woman to win two Olympic all-around and vault titles, demonstrating her extraordinary consistency and mastery over pressure-filled moments in competition.
