If the most decorated gymnast in history, Simone Biles, knows anything, it is how to stick a landing. While she has shown her exceptional prowess as a gymnast on the mat countless times, she has also proven to be a force to be reckoned with outside of the gymnasium.
After winning her second gold medal – and the sixth in her career – at the Paris Olympics 2024 in the individual all-around event, Biles celebrated her victory while taking a jibe at former President Donald Trump.

When asked to explain, Trump said that a black job is “anybody that has a job. That’s what it is.” He added that there was an immigrant “invasion” where the Black population was affected the most.
At 27, Biles is the oldest woman to bag the all-around title in over 70 years. She is also the third woman to win two of them. Her teammate Sunisa Lee secured the bronze medal at the Olympics.
