Simone Biles won the Best Comeback Performance of the Year Award at ESPY 2024

Simone Biles was recently awarded the Best Comeback Performance at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles. She has been forced to deal with several major ups and downs over the course of her career, especially during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, when she faced a mental block called 'Twisties,' and was forced to pull out of the events.

However, after her setback, Biles made a notable comeback during the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp. There, she won four gold medals and one silver medal, increasing her overall Olympic and World Championships medal tally to 37.

The ESPY Awards 2024 isn't the only time when her comeback was noted; she was recognized for the same at the Laureus Sports earlier this year, as she also won the Laureus World Comeback of the Year Award.

Simone Biles was proud of her efforts and her comeback in 2023, and said:

"It still proves to myself and other people that I can do it, so I'm proud of the work that I've put in to get to this point, and it's just exciting that I just keep going up each and every year, so I'm excited for what's to come."

The 27-year-old gymnast will compete next at the Paris Olympics after an exceptional display at the US Olympic trials, where she claimed the highest points total of 117.225.
