U.S. Olympic champion Simone Biles, the most accomplished gymnast in the world, has been named the 2019 Team USA Female Olympic Athlete of the Year.

The four-time Olympic champion, 22, came out on top after a jaw-dropping, record-setting performance in competition earlier this year, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced this week in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
