Simone Biles proudly displays her gold medals from the 2024 Olympics in Paris, solidifying her status as the most decorated gymnast of all time.
The 27-year-old Olympic champion posted a photo on Instagram, dressed in a white embellished dress, sitting in a white room adorned with 11 blue and green ribbons, each attached to silver, bronze, and gold medals. «Six-year-old me would be proud», - she captioned the post, which garnered over 1.8 million likes.
Fans quickly flooded the comments with support. One user wrote, «SIMONE, baby, you’re a star. I’m so glad gymnasts from around the world can hear your voice and see your gymnastics».
Another added, «QUEEN! I can’t love this more, and you look so FABULOUS!!!»
A third chimed in, «History in one picture».
The American gymnast was at the peak of her game at the Paris Games, delivering brilliant performances that led her team to victory. «I can’t find the right words to describe my Olympic experience — it was a whirlwind. But I know I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to represent the United States», - she wrote on Instagram.
2024 was a year of redemption for Simone, after her struggles with twists at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics led to her withdrawal from competition. During an interview on the «Call Her Daddy» podcast, she shared, «I felt like America hated me. The world was going to hate me». She added, «If I could have gotten on a plane and flown home, I would have. I thought I was going to get banned from America because they tell you, 'Don't come back if you don’t have gold. Gold or nothing. Don’t come back.'»
Her comeback was a major triumph. Reflecting on her time at the 2024 Olympics at a press conference, Simone said, «I've achieved so much more than in my wildest dreams — not just at this Olympics, but in the sport overall». She continued, «A couple of years ago, I didn’t think I would come back here to the Olympic Games. So to perform and leave with four medals… I’m not upset. I’m pretty proud of myself»
