No one likes a loser. Good riddance.
Even if you aren’t a big gymnastics fan, chances are good you’ve heard of Olympic athlete Simone Biles, referred to by many sources as the greatest athlete of all time. It’s no wonder when you look at her Olympics career so far, which includes four golds and one bronze. On top of that, her World Championships career includes 25 medals — 19 golds, three silvers and three bronzes, according to The Atlantic. Biles was forced to drop out of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics gymnastics women’s team final because of a medical issue after a rough performance on the vault.
The 24-year-old can also claim to be the first woman in history to attempt the incredibly hard and dangerous vault of the Yurchenko double pike, which she achieved at a recent competition in Indianapolis. Biles’ talent is so extraordinary, they have named four of her moves after her. She was poised to again make Olympic history before her injury.
She was expected to become “the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history,” according to NBC Sports, had she tied or broken the record for most Olympic medals won by a U.S. gymnast, as well as the record for the most gold medals won by a U.S. gymnast. Shannon Miller has the most medals with seven and Anton Heida has the most gold medals with five. Biles currently holds four gold medals and seven total, having earned two silver medals in 2021.
Doesn't exactly sound like a quitter to me.
