Simone Biles
Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, has been tapped to be Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year for 2021. The honor was announced on Thursday, with an accompanying profile detailing her journey of declining to compete in gymnastics events at the Tokyo Olympics, elevating the conversation about prioritizing mental health and wellness.
After taking a well-deserved mental health break, Biles returned to compete in the balance beams finals and won a bronze medal in the process while also silencing her critics with class.
