Simone Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medalist and the world’s most decorated gymnast, was named Time’s 2021 Athlete of the Year, the magazine revealed on Thursday.
Biles is widely considered the greatest gymnast of all time and is one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.
But outside of the gymnastics arena, she’s also been an advocate for mental health and vocal in criticizing how institutions have failed to address sexual abuse of young athletes.
