What ESPY award did Biles win in 2025 besides Best Female Athlete?

Besides Best Female Athlete, Simone Biles won the ESPY for Best Championship Performance in 2025.

The award recognized her performance in the women’s individual all-around competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Biles won that Olympic title, adding another defining achievement to a Games in which she returned to the top level after withdrawing from several events at the Tokyo Olympics because of the “twisties.”

At the 2025 ESPYs, Biles won both Best Female Athlete and Best Championship Performance. The latter category is not limited to one sport; it honors a standout performance connected to a championship or major title. Her Olympic all-around victory was the performance cited for the award.

The timeline can be confusing because the ceremony occurred in 2025 while the honored performance happened in 2024. “Best Olympic Athlete” and “Best Comeback Athlete” sound plausible, but they were not the award names Biles received that night. Her two ESPYs recognized both her overall athletic year and one specific championship performance.
