Los Angeles, July 17 (AP) - Simone Biles took home two prestigious trophies at the ESPYS on Wednesday night, including the accolade for the best female athlete.
The 11-time Olympic medalist was awarded the first trophy of the night for best championship performance, recognizing her achievements at the Paris Games. There, Biles secured three gold medals and one silver, contributing to the U.S. women's gymnastics team clinching their first team title since 2016.
"This was quite unexpected, especially being the only woman in a category full of men," Biles expressed after sharing a celebratory kiss with her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens.
She surpassed notable athletes such as Stephen Curry, Freddie Freeman, and Rory McIlroy to claim this honor. AP KHS KHS
