But Biles wasn’t just there to dazzle the cameras. The 28-year-old gymnastics icon—already one of the most decorated Olympians in history, walked away with two major honors. She won Best Championship Performance and was named Best Athlete in Women’s Sports, both tied to her remarkable showing at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Biles added three gold medals in Paris, bringing her Olympic total to seven and cementing her place as one of the greatest athletes of all time. Her ESPY wins reflect not just her dominance in the sport but the admiration she continues to earn well beyond the gymnastics floor.
Throughout the evening, Biles was celebrated by fellow athletes and celebrities alike, many of whom praised her resilience, grace, and long-standing commitment to excellence. She took the stage with a heartfelt acceptance speech, thanking her family, coaches, and fans for their unwavering support.
It was a reminder that her journey has been about more than medals; it's been about inspiring others through perseverance and passion. From Paris to the ESPYs, 2024 and 2025 have solidified Biles as not only a champion but a worldwide icon.
