This summer, Simone Biles made her triumphant return to the mat. At the end of August, she became the most decorated gymnast in U.S. history, nabbing her eighth national all-around title at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in California.
Biles is only 26, but she’s the oldest woman to ever win that championship. As a millennial-Gen Z cusper (she was born in 1997, the year at which Gen Z begins) and an athlete in a sport dominated by teens, she’s been keeping her ears open in the gym and has come to realize just how differently younger athletes approach their careers.
