  • The announcement comes after the 27-year-old's remarkable performance at the Paris Olympics, where she secured three gold medals and a silver medal.

Simone Biles, the celebrated gymnast, has been honored with the 2024 Sports Illustrated 'Sportsperson of the Year' award, recognizing her exceptional achievements and resilience in the face of adversity. This accolade comes after Biles made a triumphant return to gymnastics following a two-year hiatus, during which she prioritized her mental health, famously withdrawing from several events at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 due to "the twisties," a disorienting condition affecting gymnasts. Her comeback included winning her sixth all-around world championship title and securing four gold medals at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, Belgium.
