“My six-year-old self would be proud”


“My six-year-old self would be proud”

Simone Biles continues to celebrate her phenomenal achievements at Paris 2024 and recently posed with her collection of Olympic medals in a photo shoot.

The US gymnast shared the pictures on her social media platforms and captioned her post: “My 6-year-old self would be proud 🥹🤎🤞🏾”

Biles made history in the French capital when she became the most successful American Olympic gymnast of all time with her gold in the team all-around and Shannon Miller’s Total of seven.

It was Biles’ eighth medal of the Games, but that was just the beginning. She won two more gold medals, in the individual all-around and on vault, and finished her Paris summer with a silver medal on floor exercise, her 11th overall.

Biles won silver (team competition) and bronze (balance beam) at Tokyo 2020 before withdrawing from the competition due to the “twisties”.

She had previously won five medals in her Olympic debut in Rio 2016 – four gold medals in the team, all-around, vault and floor, as well as bronze on the balance beam.

Despite speculation about her future, Biles does not rule out adding more hardware to her collection four years from now at LA 2028.

“Never say never,” she said on the Today Show.

“The next Olympics will be on home soil, so you never know. I’m just going to relax and see where life takes me.”
