Simone Biles is all everyone can talk about right now, with the latest seeing her win her seventh Olympic Gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics vault final. The world's most decorated gymnast has proven one of the most high-profile faces at this year's Olympics, and that means more traffic than ever on her IG. Back in 2020, Simone showed off her athlete figure and her sense of humor on Instagram, sharing a stunning view of her rippling muscles while lounging around in swimwear. In a hilarious caption, the 27-year-old told fans that the trick to getting "a bikini body" is... well, to wear one!

Scroll for the photo. Kicking back on a wicker lounger as she lay in the shade, Simone dropped jaws in a tiny printed bikini in white, blue, and gold. Choosing a chic two-piece with a sporty bralette top, the Olympian wowed with her shredded abs on show, also flaunting her muscular legs and sculpted arms and shoulders. Reminding fans that she's also got curves, Simone kept her vibe casual, resting her head on one hand and cocking her head to the side a little.

Outlines Grueling Training

Ahead of the 2016 Rio Olympics, the gymnast revealed:

"Last year, we did cross-training. We swam twice a week—almost a mile! I swore I was going to drown, it was so hard, and then we would run," adding: "And the year before that, we would bike 10 miles outside once a week. If we didn't bike, we would run a mile before practice, and as soon as we finished the mile we'd have to go inside and do a beam routine. My legs were absolute jello."
