Which nationality is Simone Biles?

Simone Biles is American. Born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1997, she represents the United States in international gymnastics and is widely regarded as one of the greatest gymnasts in history. Her nationality is American, not Australian, British, or Canadian.

Biles was raised in the United States and began gymnastics after visiting a Texas gym as a child. She became a U.S. national champion and joined the American senior national team in 2013. Her exceptional power, difficulty, and consistency helped make the United States a dominant force in women’s artistic gymnastics.

She has won Olympic medals and numerous world championship titles, including multiple all-around world championships. Several difficult skills have been named after her, including elements on floor exercise, balance beam, and vault. A frequent source of confusion is that elite gymnasts often train or compete internationally, but representation is determined by the country they compete for. Biles competes for the United States, whose athletes commonly appear under the abbreviation USA.
