Simone\u2019s title as the \u2018greatest gymnast of all time\u2019 is well-earned. Over her career, she has accumulated five gold medals, one silver, and two bronze, making a total of eight Olympic medals.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">Despite facing a leg injury during the 2024 games, Simone did not let that stop her from leading her team to victory, marking their team as the fourth-ever USA women\u2019s gymnastics team to earn gold. This triumph comes as part of her comeback story after withdrawing from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics due to suffering from the \u2018twisties.\u2019<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">The All-Star champion has had to overcome her own challenges and now reigns as the greatest gymnast of all time. The three-time Olympian even has signature moves <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/5-gymnastic-moves-named-after-simone-biles-5305215\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">named after her<\/a>: The Biles (floor, vault, beam) and The Biles II (floor and vault).<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Sports\/2024-paris-olympics-simone-biles-greatest-athletes-time\/story?id=111585525\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ABC News<\/span><\/i><\/a>, former Olympian Dominique Dawes commented on the difficulty of Simone\u2019s moves, \u201cMany people aren\u2019t even attempting to do them because they\u2019re such high difficulty, high risk maneuvers, and she does them with complete ease and effort\u2026 It\u2019s amazing to watch what she\u2019s doing. And she does it with a smile on her face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">Dawes further expressed, \u201cIt really is Simone versus herself\u2026 That\u2019s really what makes her one of the greatest of all time. Back then they used to cap our scores. And so now with this new scoring system, the sky is the limit for athletes like Simone, who\u2019s very talented. And so if she does a higher, difficult maneuver on any of the different pieces of apparatus, she\u2019ll actually get credit for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">Through all the physical challenges she has faced, from injuries to the \u2018twisties,\u2019 nothing has stopped Simone from excelling in her career.
