What country does Simone Biles represent in gymnastics?

The story behind the answer

Simone Biles represents the United States in gymnastics.

Biles is an American artistic gymnast who competes internationally for the United States. Born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1997, she began gymnastics as a child and became known for extraordinary difficulty, precision, and consistency across vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.

She made her Olympic debut for the United States at the 2016 Rio Games, winning four gold medals and a bronze. After stepping away from much of the Tokyo 2020 competition for mental-health reasons, she returned to elite competition and was selected for the U.S. team at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The country answer is not Canada, China, or Russia, even though those nations have produced major international gymnasts. Biles has also competed for the United States at multiple World Championships, where she became the most decorated gymnast in history by medal count.
