It's been amazing to watch Simone Biles at this year's Olympic Games in Paris! She truly is the #GOAT, and we're proud to have her as a supporter and advocate for our work. Check out this great article by the @nytimes. #SummerOlympics #EmpowerYouth nytimes.com/2024/08/05/world…

To Become the GOAT, Simone Biles First Had to Be a Turtle (Published 2024)

She sealed her legacy with four medals at the Paris Games. She created it by being herself and going at her own pace.

Another day at the Olympics means another medal for Friends of the Children advocate and supporter @Simone_Biles. She took home her sixth gold medal yesterday, and continues to inspire our Achievers to dream big and achieve their goals. #DreamBig bostonglobe.com/2024/08/01/s…

Simone Biles wins all-around title to claim sixth Olympic gold; Suni Lee takes bronze - The Boston...

It’s another historic gold for Biles, who became just the third woman to win multiple individual all-around golds and the first in more than half a century. Brazil's Rebeca Andrade settles for silver.
