Simone Arianne Biles is an American artistic gymnast. Biles is a two-time World All-Around Champion, two-time World Floor Champion, the 2014 World Beam Champion, and a member of the gold-medal winning US team at the 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. She is also a two-time US National All-Around Champion. Biles was the 2012 Junior National Champion on vault, and also won a bronze medal in the all-around competition. Biles competed at the 2013 American Cup, an FIG World Cup event. She and Katelyn Ohashi were named as replacements for Elizabeth Price and Kyla Ross, both of whom withdrew from the competition roster due to injuries. The competition served as the debut of both gymnasts as senior international elites, where Ohashi won gold and Biles took silver. Biles continued her first senior year with wins in Italy, Germany, and Hartford, Connecticut, at the national championships before winning two gold medals, one silver, one bronze, at the World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium.
