Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Simone Biles made history at the 2024 Summer Olympics by winning three gold medals and one silver, becoming the most decorated U.S. gymnast. This comes after her controversial withdrawal from the 2020 Olympics for mental health reasons, which was criticized by J.D. Vance, now a vice-presidential pick. The 2024 Olympics were aired on Comcast's NBC and streamed on Peacock. Biles' sponsors, including Gap's Athleta, Nike, Visa, and Coca-Cola, have shown strong support for her.
