Simone Biles had quite the night at the ESPYs on Wednesday. This was her first trip to the ESPYS since 2017.
The record-breaking Olympic gymnast was nominated for two awards, including Best Athlete in Women’s Sports and Best Championship Performance, for her gold medal win in women’s all-around at the 2024 Olympics.
Biles won both awards.
The 11-time Olympic medalist claimed the night’s first award, best championship performance for her efforts at the Paris Games. She won three golds and a silver while helping the U.S. women’s gymnasts win their first team title since 2016.
During her speech, Simone Biles stated, “That was very unexpected, especially in a category of all men.”

“Is she a her, zer, or der? I’m pretty sure advocating for men in women’s sports would make it difficult for women. Maybe I just don’t understand logic. 🤔,” a third person wrote about Simone Biles.

“Nah. She doesn’t support women and has only excelled because she wasn’t forced by others like her to compete against a dude,” one final person added.
