Gymnast Simone Biles Wears Teal Leotard for Sexual Assault Awareness While Winning Her 5th National Title
Simone Biles just keeps making history wherever she goes!
The 21-year-old Olympian just earned her 5th national title at the 2018 U.S. Gymnastics Championships held at TD Garden on Sunday (August 19) in Boston, Mass.
There was also a hidden meaning behind her teal blue leotard – it was a nod to sexual assault awareness. Simone and four of her fellow Final Five team members were victims of Larry Nassar‘s abuse.

With her win, this makes Simone the ONLY gymnast to win the national competition five times, and she’s also the first to win all five (5) gold medals since Dominique Dawes in 1995.
Remember, this was Simone‘s second meet after taking off for 14 months after the Rio Olympics. Next up for her is worlds!
I’ve been back for only 9 months. I’m so proud of myself.
