“They’ve…Grown Up With Me”: Simone Biles Reflects on Her Impact by ‘Speaking to Most Demographics’

Simone Biles has done it again!

She achieved an incredible feat at the Paris Olympics, securing her third gold with a stunning vault performance. Having already dominated two events, she has made history once again with this third triumph.

Biles executed her signature move, the Yurchenko Double Pike, a.k.a. The Biles II, for her first vault move and the Cheng for her second. Both moves drew her an average score of 15.300 – a near-perfect mark to land her on top of the roster.

This win is particularly historic as it marks Biles’ seventh Olympic gold medal of her career. With two more individual apparatus events ahead, she has the potential to further prove her prowess and expand her medal collection.

Fans and celebrities have been celebrating her recent win. Among her high-profile supporters is  Guy Fieri, the self-proclaimed ‘Mayor of Flavortown’, who enthusiastically cheered for the gymnast’s success.

So did former NBA star Pau Gasol:

Former teammate and gymnastics icon Aly Raisman has always been there to hype Biles up:

Politician Lisa MacLeod took time to appreciate the gymnast star’s stance on mental health throughout her journey.

Lastly, American rapper and Olympics enthusiast Flavor Flav seemed excited to witness Biles live in action.

Following her challenges at the Tokyo Olympics, Biles prioritized her mental health through consistent therapy and self-care. Fans firmly believe that these efforts have paid off as her Paris Olympics performances so far have been stellar.

With a dedicated post on her feed talking about how ‘mental health matters’, she continues to advocate for the mental well-being of athletes while actively showing why it made a difference.
