      She is the most decorated American gymnast and the world’s third most decorated gymnast, behind Belarus’ Vitaly Scherbo, who has 33 total.

      The gymnast is a five-time World all-around champion, five-time World floor exercise champion, three-time World balance beam champion, two-time World vault champion, and six-time US national all-around champion.
      Biles is the first American female gymnast to win a World medal on every event.

      On May 21, @NBCOlympics posted a video of the 24-year-old gymnast landing her Yurchenko double pike at podium training.
      The stunt has never been performed by a woman in competition before.
      “I was like, ‘It’s OK, I’ve done this so many times. I’ve been doing this for months now,'” Biles told NBC Sports.
      She said that she feels “really good going into tomorrow.”
      The athlete will appear in the US Classic on May 22, making it her first meet in more than 18 months.
      What is gymnast Simone Biles’ net worth?
      Simone Biles has a reported net worth of $6million.
      She has obtained most of her fortune through endorsements, sponsorships and Olympic wins.

      Biles released a statement regarding the new partnership, saying: “Using my voice has been very empowering for me and I am grateful to embark on this new journey with Athleta to inspire young girls and women to do the same. 
      “I admire Athleta for their commitment to recognize and support women’s individual and collective strength.

      Biles has been in a relationship with NFL star Jonathan Owens since August of 2020.
      Her fans first started speculating about the couple’s relationship in June when she wished Jonathan a happy birthday on social media.

      Her new relationship status comes after she confirmed her split from WWE star Stacey Ervin Jr. in July of 2020 in a cover story for Vogue.

      The athlete revealed that they called time on their three-year romance in March.
      She told the publication: “It’s hard being young and having that long of a relationship and then ending it. But it was for the best.”
      The former couple went public in 2017 and regularly shared social media posts throughout their relationship. More

      Also on the agenda is the Golden Boot, with two top scorers neck-and-neck in the race for the annual gong.
      What happens if Golden Boot winners are tied?
      The Golden Boot is handed out to the Premier League player who scores the most goals over the 38-game regular season.
      Jamie Vardy won the award last term, netting 23 times for Leicester as they finished fifth in the league.
      This season, Harry Kane and Mo Salah go into the final round of games locked on 22 goals each.
      Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes sits third with 18 strikes, so is realistically out of the running unless something incredible happens against Wolves on Sunday.

      Players finishing on the same amount of goals at the end of the campaign is nothing new, with three players all bagging 22 times in 2018/19.
      And if this happens, the trophy is simply shared between the players.
      In the World Cup, the Golden Boot winner is decided by looking at the amount of assists a player has achieved if there is a tie.
      But Premier League rules state that the Golden Boot trophy will be shared if players finish on the same goal totals.
      That is a very real possibility this weekend as Liverpool host Crystal Palace, while Tottenham take on Leicester.
