Amanda Gorman and Simone Biles
American poet Amanda Gorman honoured Olympic gymnast, Simone Biles with a poem during the 2021 InStyle Awards in Los Angeles recently. Gorman recited an original poem for Biles, who has a combined total of 32 Olympic and World Championship medals, titled, The Greatest. “I am here to celebrate the symbol that is Simone, most well-known for being the most accomplished gymnast of our time,” Gorman said.
She continued: “But it is time we see Simone as far more than her 32 medals. She is a champion because she never settles for less than the rebel she is. Simone has shown that power is from listening to a voice that is your own, that greatness lies not in if we’ve won but if we’ve grown and that when one woman speaks her truth, she is never alone. Simone is a fighter on fire, a survivor, speaking not a solo but as part of a choir, raising up the women beside her.”
