Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all time, is back at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She’s making history as the oldest U.S. gymnast to qualify for the Olympics in 72 years

At 27 years old, Biles is defying age expectations. She’s already achieved so much, and her presence adds excitement to the American team.

The last time an American female gymnast over 27 competed at the Olympics was in 1952. Marie Margaret Hoesly held that honor at 35 years old.

After her stellar performances in Tokyo, Biles knew she wasn’t done. She trusted the process, worked hard, and secured her spot in Paris.

Biles joins an exclusive list of U.S. female gymnasts who’ve made three Olympic teams. Muriel Davis Grossfeld, Linda Metheny, and Dominique Dawes are her esteemed predecessors.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, Biles was raised in Spring, Texas. Her adoptive parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, have supported her remarkable journey.

Biles’ legacy includes individual gold medals in the all-around, vault, and floor. She’s part of the legendary “Final Five” from Rio 2016.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Biles faced the “twisties,” affecting her performance. Despite that, she remains an inspiration to gymnasts worldwide.

As the Paris Olympics approach, all eyes are on Simone Biles. Her age-defying talent and determination continue to captivate fans and fellow athletes alike
