It’s no surprise that Simone Biles is the talk of the town; after all, the gymnast has lived up to the hype. Some claim there have been better gymnasts, while others say she’s unmatched. Though heavily criticized for her journey at Tokyo 2020, today, her story is written differently.

Opinions will always be divided, and Biles knows this well. Without seeking global approval, she has focused on believing in her own achievements and is grateful for her position. Critics call her vain for celebrating herself and wearing a necklace that declares her the Greatest of All Time, but Biles owns this moment with pride, embracing her success.

After a toxic clash with Mykayla Skinner, who became the arch-nemesis of the Paris 2024 gymnastics team, Simone Biles brushed off the drama and claimed Paris 2024 gold. Embracing the controversy, Biles acknowledges that some may love her and others may hate her, but what matters most is that despite all the adversities she has faced, she still finds it incredible to be mentioned alongside the greatest athletes in history-and she does it all with undeniable style.

The true meaning of being the GOAT

Simone Biles may soar high in competitions, but she keeps her feet firmly on the ground, still seeing herself as the girl from Spring, Texas. Despite the intense spotlight, she remains grounded and focused on what truly matters.

The world has risen to applaud her much-anticipated return, eagerly awaiting her next competition. Simone has cemented her status as the greatest of all time, with a supportive team behind her. She continues to shine as the undisputed leader of the gymnastics team, embodying the spirit of teamwork. While her sports idols include legends like Serena Williams and LeBron James, for her teammates, Simone has become the ultimate role model, setting the standard for excellence.

The world might criticize her necklace, love it, or find it excessive. But for Simone, it’s a powerful symbol of her journey. It signifies that success doesn’t come overnight, adversities are always part of the process, and you can never please everyone. Her necklace serves as a protective shield, a reminder to both the world and Simone Biles herself that she has already etched her name in history as one of the greatest icons in gymnastics and sports.
