Simone Biles' heartfelt speech at the 2025 Laureus World Sports Awards
Olympic gymnast Simone Biles shared a heartfelt speech as she managed to win the Laureus Sportswoman of the Year Award for 2025. Biles' award win means she has now equalled Serena Williams for the most Laureus Sportswoman of the Year awards, with four.
Upon recieving her award, Biles shared a heartfelt speech stating that she was thankful to win the award once again. She said (via Laureus on YouTube 1:10 onwards):
"I just have to start off by saying I'm so happy that I was not competing in the same category as Rebeca [Andrade] finally. But I want to thank Laureus so much for this incredible honor. I've been dreaming of moments like this since I was a foster kid, so I have to say thank you to my parents for adopting my sister and I, and for allowing me to turn my passion into my profession.
"Whenever I was younger and I started gymnastics, I always wanted to change the sport and just to progress it and inspire the younger generations. So I feel like my job has done just that with the amount of time I've spent on an Olympic and a world stage."
Simone Biles even referred to the Paris Games as her 'redemption tour', following her withdrawal from several events at the Tokyo Games in 2020.
