After her historic second appearance at Tokyo Olympics 2020, Simone Biles has been fulfilling her dreams off the mat. Biles, at the young age of 24, has already achieved almost everything a gymnast can dream of. She has seven Olympic and 32 world championship medals in her medal tally.
Simone had a week full of walking on the red carpet, as she attended the VMA awards, and appeared at her first Met Gala in 2021. After becoming the GOAT of gymnastics, Biles is ready to fulfill her dream of a gymnastics tour.
