(France 2)

With her unprecedented acrobatics, Simone Biles has established herself as a gymnastics legend and arouses the curiosity of spectators.

Simone Biles is already capturing all the attention at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Each of her appearances electrifies the audience. At 27 years old, for her third Olympic Games, the American gymnast has the opportunity to complete her XXL list of achievements. Simone Biles has built up an endless list of achievements: seven Olympic medals and 30 world medals, including 23 titles.

Measuring 1.42 m and weighing 47 kg, the gymnast wants to make a little more history in a sport that she has already largely revolutionized in a decade. At the Rio Olympics, she became the most decorated gymnast in a single Olympic edition, with four gold medals plus a bronze on the beam. After the Tokyo Games, the American put her career on hold and began therapy after the trauma of sexual abuse suffered in the past. She then returned to competition triumphantly.
