25 world championship medals, 7 Olympic medals, the most decorated gymnast ever, and a recent recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom; ladies and gentlemen, that’s Simone Biles for you. All that glory under her name, and yet she can’t help people telling her to do stuff while she is public. Probably her 4’8 ft structure doesn’t alarm anyone, and that’s why people do not take her seriously.

It’s almost impossible to fathom how people can see the four-time Olympic gold medalist, Simone Biles, as a kid. Of course, comparatively, she has a small stature and is joyous to be around. But, she is a 25-year-old who is about to get married very soon. However, Biles added, “The other flight attendant gave me a mimosa so we’re in the clear.”

The youngest person to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom
When President Joe Biden awarded Simone the nation’s highest civilian honor, it was not just another medal to her tally; she became the youngest person in history to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
