Simone
Biles became famous in 2013 when she won the two World Championship golds aged just 16, including the all-around title. Then she won the four Worlds golds in 2014 and further four golds in the year 2015. Rio 2016, her first Olympics and her first Olympic appearance, was an enormous achievement. Biles had already established herself as an international star and was a hot bet to win the gold medal. Biles did not disappoint us and won gold medals for all-around as well as teams, as well as the vault beam, floor and vault. Her supremacy is due to a total mastery of gymnastic fundamentals: with her tiny, 4ft 8in frame, amazing athletic ability, and low centre-of-gravity that she is built to be a champion gymnast. Combine that with a high level of effort, incredible imagination when it comes to her art, and massive levels of personality, and she is almost invincible.
