Simone Biles, after an illustrious gymnastics career, considers retirement while continuing to gain accolades. At the 2025 ESPYs, she won best championship performance for the 2024 Paris Olympics and best athlete in women's sports. In her acceptance speeches, she expressed gratitude, highlighted the support from her team, and acknowledged the tragic flooding in Texas. Biles emphasized the importance of having a supportive network during both triumphs and struggles as a key to her success.
I'm honored to receive this award; the recognition means more than you guys know. I would like to thank the people who have stood with me on this journey: my teammates, my competitors, my coaches, family, and fans who have lifted me up every step of the way. I wouldn't be standing here without all of you.
Having a strong support system that understands your dreams, who are willing to show up for you, not just when you're winning but when you're struggling, is key to success.
