Simone Biles shares her belief about sports after winning the prestigious Laureus award

Simone Biles expressed her feelings on the culture she wants to inculcate in young children after winning the Sportswoman of the Year during the 2025 Laureus Awards.

In an interview following this, Biles expressed her happiness about winning her fourth Laureus award, with the first being in 2017. She further added that she is a firm believer in Laureus' ideology to change the global spectrum through sports, and also remarked that she wants to influence little children in pursuing their dreams. She said (via The Voice Online):

"I’m so happy to be here in Madrid and to receive my fourth Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Award. I won this Award for the first time in 2017 and Laureus has been a part of my story since then, and I share their belief that sport has the power to change the world. That might be a little girl watching someone like me on television and deciding she can do it, too."

Biles won the award over several top stars such as Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Faith Kipyegon, who also returned from the 2024 Paris Olympics with gold laurels.
