Simone Biles makes history by becoming the most decorated gymnast at the World Championships, setting new standards in gymnastics.

On a historic Sunday in Stuttgart, Simone Biles, the 22-year-old American gymnast, etched her name in the annals of gymnastics history by becoming the most decorated gymnast at the World Championships. Surpassing the legendary Vitaly Scherbo’s overall medal record, Biles claimed her 24th medal, with a staggering 18 of them being gold, following her victory on the balance beam. Her unparalleled performance didn’t stop there; Biles continued her dominance by securing another gold in the floor final, showcasing her exceptional talent and dedication to the sport.

Historic Achievement

Biles’ journey to this historic moment was marked by her incredible prowess and consistency. On the balance beam, she delivered a breathtaking routine that earned her a score of 15.066, securing her fourth gold of these championships. The floor final saw Biles in her element, posting a stunning score of 15.133, which not only brought her another gold but also solidified her status as a legend in gymnastics. This victory was particularly sweet as it saw her outclassing her teammate, Sunisa Lee, who took silver, and Russian gymnast Angelina Melnikova, who finished third.

The implications of Biles’ achievements extend far beyond the medals and the records. She has not only surpassed Scherbo’s record but also set a new standard in the world of gymnastics. With a total of 30 medals in World Championships and Olympics, Biles is now three short of breaking Scherbo’s record for the most medals. Her performances in Stuttgart have not only demonstrated her exceptional skill and determination but have also highlighted her as a pivotal figure in the sport, inspiring a new generation of gymnasts.

Looking Ahead

As Biles continues to rewrite history, her sights are set on the 2024 Olympics in Paris, where she has the opportunity to become the gymnast with the most Olympic medals ever. Her journey from her debut at the World Championships to becoming the most decorated gymnast is a testament to her hard work, resilience, and sheer talent. With each performance, Biles not only cements her legacy but also paves the way for future generations to dream bigger and aim higher.

Simone Biles is modeling workout gear. In a new social media post, the gymnast shows off her amazing body while modeling her favorite Athleta pieces. She shared the Instagram video during her luxurious getaway to Hawaii with husband Jonathan Owens. How does the athlete maintain her amazing body? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits, including her approach to mental and physical health.

“I’ve always been in therapy [and] I’ve always been an advocate for medicine,” Biles told Vanity Fair. “If you need an inhaler, take it. If you have anxiety, take it. I’m no stranger to medicine.” Years ago Biles was prescribed Lexapro for anxiety, and she continues to take the medication today.

Simone fills her plate with lean protein and lots of fiber. For breakfast she has Kellogg’s Red Berries or egg whites. Lunch, “is either chicken or fish so I get the protein,” she told Women’s Health. Next up, a “quick snack” before another workout. “Pre-workout I love drinking Core Power; it’s a recovery drink. And then a banana and peanut butter because bananas have potassium, which helps with muscle cramps.” “And then,” for dinner, “I like having a good fish, like salmon, and rice and carrots.”

“We swam twice a week—almost a mile! I swore I was going to drown, it was so hard, and then we would run. And the year before that we would bike 10 miles outside once a week. If we didn’t bike, we would run a mile before practice, and as soon as we finished the mile we’d have to go inside and do a beam routine. My legs were absolute jello. But it got easier because the cross-training helped. This year we haven’t done [cross-training] because we’re just calming it down,” she told Women’s Health about what her exercise session consists of.

Simone also spends hours in the gym daily. “I like doing legs because those exercises come pretty easily to me. I have good, powerful legs, so I can do conditioning and they won’t be too sore. But stomach conditioning, I don’t like it at all! It’s my least favorite. I like laughing better for an ab workout than actually doing abs!” she told Women’s Health.

Simone understands the importance of stretching. “We have a routine that includes running and then a stretch for every part of our body. So we’ll stretch before practice, but especially afterwards, because then you’re tense and you need to stretch those muscles down. It’s very important to keep your body flexible so that you don’t get injured,” she told Women’s Health. “My favorite stretch is splits because not a lot of people can do them. And over-splits is when you put your leg up on a mat so it’s higher—and it just looks cooler!” “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Simone Biles commands a formidable presence in the realm of gymnastics and is celebrated for her unmatched accomplishments and revolutionary routines. Boasting an unprecedented six All-Around World Championship titles and an astonishing tally of 37 medals—23 of which are gold—she solidifies her status as the most decorated gymnast in the annals of World Championships history.

Beyond the confines of the gym, Simone Biles extends her influence well beyond athletic prowess. Her impact reverberates across society, underscored by her distinguished accolades such as the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She’s been heralded on TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and Forbes’ 30 Under 30 lists. However, this year, despite her absence from performances like the Winter Cup as she prepares for the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles remains a beacon of influence. With anticipation building, her upcoming debut on this season’s tour promises to captivate audiences once again.

The Gold Over America Tour, alternatively known as Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour, returns with a thrilling addition: Simone Biles takes centre stage as the headline act. This highly anticipated tour aims to convey a powerful yet simple message: even the most celebrated athletes, like Biles, are everyday individuals.

Enjoying with her husband in Hawaii, the American superstar gymnast decided to celebrate World Leap Day hilariously. It is often said that the mark of a true champion is when they can embrace their failures. Well, for Biles, she has proven her worth.

When we hear the name Simone Biles, seldom do we picture her tripping while trying to perform a routine. However, as it is evident, even the legends of the game too have an off day. Echoing the same sentiment, Simone Biles thought of mocking herself on social media. The 26-year-old athlete took to her X account and posted a video of her tripping.

Captioning the post, “HAPPY LEAP DAY💙😂”, Biles tried to invoke laughter among her fans. However, while the video was funny, her fans ceased to troll her for the slip-up. Instead, they praised her for her sporting spirit. Not every day will you see an athlete post a snippet of how they failed. For obvious reasons, such clips can lead to public shaming of an athlete’s reputation.

But Biles, being an Olympic gold medalist, had the courage to make fun of her mistakes. This is what stood out to her fans and they started to shower her with words of admiration even more. Speaking about hilarious incidents, Biles was once handed a coloring book by a flight attendant.

Biles’ hilarious run-in with a flight attendant 

Back in 2022, days after being awarded with the Presidential Medal of Honor, Simone Biles had a weird flight experience. While she stands at 4’8”, there is little chance people won’t recognize who she is. Unfortunately, this flight attendant not only could not recognize Biles but also mistook her for a kid owing to her short stature.

Things took a hilarious turn when the attendant offered her a coloring book to keep her occupied throughout the journey. However, soon, the confusion was clarified. Embarrassed at their ignorance, the flight attendant offered Biles her favorite snack, Mimosa, as a token of apology.

Simone Biles, 26, can be a powerful force on the mat, but she also knows how to put a stylish look together for any occasion, including a sunny getaway.

Yesterday on Instagram, the pro athlete posted not one, but two snaps taken on her recent vacay. The first slide of the post shows Biles lying down in a pool chair rocking a turquoise bikini with a matching shawl and black shades. (Yup, this is definitely her color.)

Meanwhile, the second photo shows the gymnast turning a concrete path into her personal runway and donning a darker blue mini-dress, carrying a white clutch purse and wearing clear heels. Biles captioned the post, “Day & night,” alongside a baby blue, white and dark blue heart emoji.

Biles followers couldn’t help but gush over her chic blue outfits in the comments section. One supporter wrote, “Girl!! Blue is your color!!” with a heart-eyed emoji and a blue heart emoji. Another supporter chimed in and said, “Slayed both times.”

The Olympic gold medalist has really been on her fashion A-game lately. In a previous post, Biles served a look in a neon pink and yellow swimsuit. Below, you can see the athlete striking a pose in front of a surfboard. In the caption, she wrote, “Canceling my return flight.”

From what we gathered, Biles recently attended a wedding with her husband, Jonathan Owens. In a separate post, the couple (who tied the knot in April 2023) can be seen sharing a kiss while sporting Hawaiian-inspired attire. She captioned the post, “Weddings >>>>.”

We need to see you in blue more often, Simone.
