Her 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals make her the most decorated gymnast in history. She is widely regarded as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, and one of the greatest female athletes in history. With 11 Olympic medals, she is tied with Věra Čáslavská as the second-most decorated female Olympic gymnast behind Larisa Latynina, and has the most Olympic medals earned by a U.S. gymnast.","summary_more":["At the Olympic Games, Biles is a two-time gold medalist in the individual all-around (2016, 2024). She is also a two-time champion on vault (2016, 2024), the 2016 champion and 2024 silver medalist on floor exercise, and a two-time bronze medalist on balance beam (2016, 2020). Biles led the gold medal-winning U.S. teams in 2016, dubbed the \"Final Five\", and in 2024, dubbed the \"Golden Girls\". At the 2020 Summer Olympics, where she was favored to win at least four of the six available gold medals, she withdrew from most of the competition after the qualification round due to \"the twisties\", a temporary loss of proprioception while performing twisting elements. She won a silver medal with the U.S. team nicknamed the \"Fighting Four\".","Biles is the most-decorated gymnast of the World Championships, with 30 medals, all but seven gold. She is a six-time all-around champion (2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2023), six-time floor exercise champion (2013–2015, 2018–2019, 2023), and four-time balance beam champion (2014–2015, 2019, 2023), all record totals. She is also a two-time vault champion (2018–2019) and a member of a record five gold-medal-winning U.S. teams (2014–2015, 2018–2019, 2023). She is also a four-time silver medalist (2013–2014 and 2023 on vault, 2018 on uneven bars) and a three-time bronze medalist (2015 on vault, 2013 and 2018 on balance beam).","Domestically,…"],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"14 March 1997","date":"1997-03-14"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Columbus","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16567"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P19"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"United States","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30"},{"text":"Belize","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q242"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"artistic gymnast","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13381572"},{"text":"athlete","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2066131"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P106"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Jonathan Owens","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q61959593","start":"2023-04-22"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P26"}},{"key":"website","label":"Official website","values":[{"text":"simonebiles.com","url":"http://www.simonebiles.com"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P856"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"Associated Press Athlete of the Year","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q743122","date":"2016"},{"text":"Time 100","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q604370","date":"2021"},{"text":"BBC 100 Women","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16153104","date":"2016"},{"text":"Presidential Medal of Freedom","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17144","date":"2022"},{"text":"Olympic gold medal","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15243387"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P166"}},{"key":"x","label":"X (Twitter)","values":[{"text":"Simone_Biles","url":"https://x.com/Simone_Biles"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P2002"}},{"key":"facebook","label":"Facebook","values":[{"text":"simonebiles","url":"https://www.facebook.com/simonebiles"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P2013"}},{"key":"instagram","label":"Instagram","values":[{"text":"simonebiles","url":"https://www.instagram.com/simonebiles/"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267#P2003"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_Biles","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267","http://www.simonebiles.com","https://x.com/Simone_Biles","https://www.facebook.com/simonebiles","https://www.instagram.com/simonebiles/"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Simone Biles born?","a":"Simone Biles was born on 14 March 1997 in Columbus."}],"related":[{"name":"Muhammad Ali","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/muhammad-ali"},{"name":"Michael Jordan","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/michael-jordan"},{"name":"Jesse Owens","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/jesse-owens"},{"name":"Pelé","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pele"},{"name":"Usain Bolt","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/usain-bolt"},{"name":"Roger Federer","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/roger-federer"},{"name":"Sachin Tendulkar","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/sachin-tendulkar"},{"name":"Lionel Messi","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/lionel-messi"},{"name":"Nadia Comăneci","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/nadia-com-neci"},{"name":"Eliud Kipchoge","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/eliud-kipchoge"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/simone-biles-dbcf209370.jpg","width":500,"height":722,"license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","credit":"Ocoudis","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Simone_Biles_National_Team_2024.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Simone Biles","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_Biles","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q7520267","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7520267","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Simone Biles National Team 2024.jpg by Ocoudis (CC BY-SA 4.0)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Simone_Biles_National_Team_2024.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Simone Biles, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
