Biles
American gymnast's surname
Biles is a surname, most notably associated with American gymnast Simone Biles, widely considered the greatest gymnast of all time.
Her dominance has made the name synonymous with athletic excellence: She's the Biles of figure skating.
To "do a Biles" or "pull a Biles" can mean either to perform with unprecedented skill or, following her 2021 Olympics withdrawal, to prioritize mental health over external expectations.
