It’s been quite a while since fans last witnessed Simone Biles performing her gravity-defying routines—whether it was balancing with grace on the beam, executing seamless transitions on the uneven bars, commanding the floor with rhythm and power, or launching into the air from the vault. Though the perfect score of 10 is no longer used in elite gymnastics, Biles’ presence in the sport has remained iconic. The last time she stood atop the podium with a medal was during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite taking a step back from active competition, Simone Biles continues to be celebrated for her unmatched legacy.
Most recently, she received yet another prestigious recognition: being named in the 2025 TIME100 list. Biles took to Instagram on April 17, 2025, to express her gratitude, writing, “Incredibly honored to be included in the 2025 #TIME100 list ❤️✨ time.com/time100 Thank you, @time.” But beyond her caption, the image accompanying her post spoke volumes.

In the portrait framed by TIME’s signature red border, Biles exudes quiet confidence. Her gentle smile and direct gaze toward the camera capture a sense of calm strength. A closer look reveals meaningful details: a clover-shaped bracelet on her right wrist, her face thoughtfully resting against that hand. Around her neck, she wears a necklace featuring a small goat charm—symbolizing her widely acknowledged title as the “Greatest of All Time” (GOAT) in gymnastics. She also wears a black T-shirt with a powerful message: “Power of She.”
This symbolic appearance reflects more than just style—it reaffirms her impact and presence in both the world of sports and beyond.
