The olympic gold medalist posted a message of empowerment for women everywhere…
United States star gymnast Simone Biles took to social media on Wednesday following the election to share a message for President Joe Biden.
Biles made it clear she wants Biden to make a few moves before he leaves office – though she did not exactly say what she wants him to accomplish. The seven-time Olympic gold medalist made her claims after former President Donald Trump defeated vice president and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

“To women everywhere, you are the heartbeat of progress,” the message read. “You are seen, valued and unstoppable. Your strength and progress are changing the world.”
Biles, meanwhile, hasn’t made an official decision on competing in the Olympics in the United States four years from now. Her husband, Chicago Bears defensive back Jonathan Owens, made it clear he’ll support any decision she makes.
“If she feels like it is time to focus on life… because when you are locked in, you do have to sacrifice a lot and you do miss a lot,” he said back in August. “That’s the one thing that she would just have to figure out for herself. And like I said, man, I’m here to support her a thousand percent and whatever she decides to do.”
Until then, she deserves a break.
