Simone Biles had quite the comeback last year at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The gymnast was also named the 2024 Sportsperson of the Year by Sports Illustrated.
“Honestly, it is such a huge honor. I know some of the greats that have won it in prior years, so to just keep gymnastics on the map is really exciting. I know a lot of people love the sport of gymnastics during an Olympic year and have followed my career closely, but I was still very shocked. I feel like I’m always shocked winning any sort of award or being honored.” Simone told Good Morning America.
