Simone Biles, an American gymnast, has become an icon and a two-time Olympic champion, having won nine medals, six of which are gold. She is also the third woman to become a two-time Olympic champion, joining Larisa Latynina of the Soviet Union in 1956 and 1960 and Vera Caslavska of Czechoslovakia in 1964 and 1968. Biles has fueled the transformation of the sport one performance at a time, with stars like the U.S. men's basketball team and Kendall Jenner flocking to watch her.
