Winning five gold medals at the 2016 Olympics and being celebrated as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, Simone Biles is a fierce competitor used to accolades. But being such a visible female athlete, she also has become all too familiar with criticism about her body, clothes, and her life choices.
As part of natural cosmetic company SK-II’s #NoCompetition campaign, Biles took to Instagram to denounce “a growing competition that has nothing to do with performance itself,” namely beauty standards.
