A detailed timeline of the impact and legacy of Simone Biles across different fields.
Simone Biles is an American artistic gymnast, renowned as the most decorated gymnast in history with 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals. She is considered one of the greatest gymnasts and Olympians of all time. Her 11 Olympic medals tie her with Věra Čáslavská as the second-most decorated female Olympic gymnast and give her the record for most Olympic medals earned by any U.S. gymnast.
In July 2013, Simone Biles competed poorly at the U.S. Classic. Following this, she consulted a sports psychologist, who helped her with anxiety and confidence issues.
In September 2016, following a hack into the World Anti-Doping Agency, Simone Biles disclosed on Twitter that she has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and was permitted to take medication for it, having received a therapeutic use exemption. She was applauded for her openness.
After the 2016 Rio Games, Biles co-wrote an autobiography with journalist Michelle Burford, Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance.
On January 8, 2017, Simone Biles' autobiography, Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance, reached number one on The New York Times best sellers Young Adult list.
In September 2021, Simone Biles appeared on the Time 100, an annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, for "championing mental health".
On July 7, 2022, Simone Biles was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest honor given to civilians, by President Joe Biden in a ceremony at the White House.
