Simone Biles

Like other sports, excelling in gymnastics takes patience, perseverance, and commitment. Fortunately, Simone Biles possesses all three of these characteristics and more. Since the young age of 6, Biles already began her journey to becoming a gymnast. Eventually, after winning more than a few medals and impressing audiences along the way, the 19-time World champion even earned the credit of being one of the greatest gymnasts of all time – some would even go as far as to say that she is the greatest.

Like many world-class athletes, Simone Biles has showcased her skills several times in the Olympics. Perhaps as a way to commemorate what she achieved and will achieve in the event, she even added a tattoo of its iconic rings logo on her right forearm.  Her second is on the side of her bottom lip. “It just says XO,” she said. “It’s a little faded. I need to get it touched up.”
