Brave Biles taking her sport to a new level
IT WAS a smile that illuminated these Olympic Games like no Eiffel Tower light show could ever do.
The star who will surely shine brightest at Paris 2024 is back at the Games. One of the most remarkable athletes in history the most remarkable gymnast in history - is back.
Tom Cruise, Ariana Grande, Snoop Dogg and John Legend were all in a cacophonous Bercy Arena but there was only one headline act.
Simone Biles.
Sometimes there are competitors who almost transcend the everyday Games. Biles is one of them.
The back story is part of what makes her such a compelling figure - brave enough, in 2018, to reveal she had been abused by disgraced US team doctor Larry Nassar, brave enough to testify to the Senate in 2021 about how the system had failed to protect her.
