Throughout her professional gymnastics career, Simone Biles has not only been successful in the gymnasium but also outside of it. Along with the shiny medals and trophies, Biles has bagged great sponsorship deals with various high-end brands. One such deal is with the famous sportswear brand, GK Elite. Biles had been a part of the GK Elite family for nearly a decade now.
