Simone Biles

This year Simone Biles has made every black woman proud as she is the first gymnast to win twenty-five World Championship medals as of October 13.

She does her signature moves effortlessly and two have been named after her; “the Biles, a double backflip dismount with two twists, and the Biles II, a double backflip with three twists on a floor routine.”

Biles is by far the most decorated gymnast, etching her name in this history of world championships.
