While paying tribute to Biles might be prideful yet demanding, Amanda Gorman did her job pretty well. The poet presented her with an original poem, ‘The Greatest,’ which contains all the reasons why Biles is the greatest.
“She is a champion because she never settles for less than the rebel she is,” the poem read. “That is what it means to be Biles bold, a beauty to behold at just 24 years old. She is such a treasure. Her worth measures more than gold.”
Furthermore, Amanda’s poem pinned down the most significant season in the athlete’s life, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Considering mental health as her prime concern, the GOAT stepped down but stood as an inspiration for many.
All in all, Simone Biles is one of the most heard names in the world of gymnastics. Besides that, the athlete has a rebellious and bold personality. Starting from taking a stand against sexual harassment to prioritizing her mental health, she did it all.
