After months of nagging injuries kept her out of competition, Biles’ first competition of the 2014 season was the Secrect US Classic, where she won the all-around, vault, beam and floor. Just weeks later, Biles won the all-around title at the 2014 P & G Championships for the second consecutive year, amazingly enough, with a fall.

In October, the reigning World Champ defended her title at the 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Nanning, China. Not only did she help Team USA to a nearly seven point landslide win, she also became the first American female gymnast to win her second consecutive all-around World title since 1994 and only the second American to ever do so. Biles’ did more than just repeat an accomplishment some had already achieved; Simone Biles set a benchmark of her own. Her total of 6 World gold medals is the most by an American gymnast, surpassing Shannon Miller's total of 5.

 

We’re not sure what the future holds for this phenomenal athlete. What we do know, however, is that we’ll be here documenting Simone Biles’ journey as she writes herself into gymnastics history as one of the greatest of all time.
