From Ancient Greece to the modern-day Olympics, gymnastics has changed in equipment, techniques, and style. Along with the sports’ standard enhancements, today’s spectators have seen the evolution of talent with some of the most decorated African American gymnasts to perform. Those watching now would say, hands down, Simone Biles takes the cake as the best. But the first Black female ever to win an individual Olympic medal in the sport was Dominique Dawes. Dominique Dawes is also the first African American to make the national women's team. Simone Biles currently holds the most Olympic medals won by a U.S. gymnast and has been very open about her mental health. Both Dawes and Biles are in an exclusive legendary category of Olympians of their time. #BlackHistory #BlackExcellence #BlackHistoryMonth #UrbanOneBlackHistory #SimoneBiles #DominiqueDawes #Olympics #Gymnastics
