Simone Biles turns up the glamour in stunning outfits as she shares snaps from her SI Sportsperson of the Year photoshoot

Simone Biles had an incredible 2024, winning three golds and one silver medal at the Paris Olympics to solidify her status as the greatest gymnast of all time. For her accomplishments, the American was named Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year, and she recently shared snaps of her photoshoot from the same.

Biles began her season competing domestically, winning the all-around events at the US Classic, the national championships, and the US Olympic Trials. At the nationals, the gymnast also completed a clean sweep of all the podiums, marking the second time she had achieved the feat.

In August, the 27-year-old arrived at the Paris Olympics. After her heartbreak at the 2020 Games, where she was forced to withdraw from multiple events due to her mental health, Paris was a different story. She began her campaign by helping Team USA reclaim gold before going on to win the all-around and vault events. She wrapped up her time at the Games with a silver on the floor.

On January 2, Simone Biles was named Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year for her phenomenal season. Recently, she took to Instagram to share snaps of her photoshoot for the accomplishment, simply writing,

Simone Biles discusses her future in gymnastics

After Simone Biles pulled out of multiple event finals at the Tokyo Olympics, she took an extended hiatus from the sport. Fans were unsure if she would return to the gym, but the gymnast began her comeback journey in 2023 and quickly proved that she was still the best of the best.

Now, after having dominated the Paris Olympics, Biles has completed her redemption and is not looking toward the LA 2028 Games at the moment. In her interview with Sports Illustrated, the gymnast was asked what it would take for her to return to the Olympic stage four years later, and she replied,

“Life and death. Because I’ve accomplished so much, there’s almost nothing left to do, rather than to just be snobby and to try again and for what? I’m at a point in my career where I’m humble enough to know when to be done.”

“If you go back, you’ll be greedy. Those are the consequences. But that’s also your decision to decide. What sacrifices would be made if I go back now? When you’re younger, it’s like, prom, college. Now it’s like, starting a family, being away from my husband. What’s really worth it?” she added.

After Simone Biles' campaign at the Paris Olympics, she established herself as the most successful US Olympic gymnast of all time. She also re-established her status as the most decorated gymnast in the history of the sport, having won 11 Olympic and 30 World Championships medals.
