Following Laureus, Simone Biles in Contention for Yet Another Prestigious Award Before 2024 Paris Olympics

Simone Biles just doesn’t seem to stop. Ever since her thumping World Championship comeback, the US gymnast queen has been on a roll both on and off the field. Her performances in the Core Hydration Classics and the US Championships have been mind-boggling. A majority of critics wrote her off after the Tokyo debacle. 

But Biles has proved them wrong with all-around victories in both the tournaments. She also picked up victories in each of the four disciplines at Core Hydration Classics to further add to the awe factor. Meanwhile, her accolades outside the mat are also adding up. In a recent announcement, Simone Biles was said to have been nominated as the kids’ favorite. 

Simone Biles might be the kids’ favorite athlete this year

An X account named OctagonOAS broke the news of Biles getting yet another ‘Favorite Female Sports Star of the Year’ award. The post read, “For the second year in a row, @Simone_Biles was nominated in the 2024 Kids Choice Awards for “Favorite Female Sports Star.” 🥳🌟 #KCA @Nickelodeon KidsChoiceAwards.com” 

Besides getting the nomination for the second successive year, Simone Biles has also won a major award this year. Nominated alongside icons like Jamal Murray and Katarina Thompson Johnson, Simone Biles won the ‘Comeback of the Year’ 2024 to further bolster her Paris dreams. Biles has also won the Laureus Sportswoman of the Year thrice in 2017, 2019, & 2020. Such a prestigious acknowledgment outside of the gym surely speaks volumes about her credibility as a legendary icon. 

And to further elevate her status as a legend, Simone Biles is eyeing the all-around glory in Paris. Whether that would be a reality is for the future to decide. But Biles has looked extremely confident in her latest spot for Athleta’s ‘Power of She’ campaign ahead of Paris.

Simone Biles could be spotted sweating it out in a white two piece outfit from Athleta. In the commercial, Biles is heard saying, “For bold choices on big stages, for pounding hears and personal bests. For hearing yourself over the crowd and landing in your power. We are here.” According to exclusive reports from PEOPLE, the segment will air on June 15 and will be a major attraction throughout the entirety of the Paris Olympics. 

Reports also stated that the chief objective for the segment was to encourage young females to follow their passion. And just like Biles, the budding buds would also defy the odds to climb the pinnacle of success. Thus, with things looking rosy for Simone Biles on and off the mat, the only thing that remains to be conquered seems to be Paris’ golden snitch.
