Since the age of 16, Biles has been a fixture on the world stage. In a long history of excellent Olympic gymnasts from the United States, Biles might be the best one ever. She first became a World all-around champion at 16 years of age. Biles enjoyed great success in multiple events. As such, it comes as no surprise that the 4-foot-8 athlete has four Olympic gold medals and 14 golds from various World Championships.
