Beyoncé has lent her voice to a powerful advert honoring gymnast Simone Biles, which recently aired on NBC. The advert celebrates Biles’ incredible achievements, particularly highlighting her recent success at the Olympics, where she secured her second gold medal in the individual competition, bringing her total Olympic medal count to six.
The advert features footage of the 27-year-old gymnast, with Beyoncé’s voice providing a poignant narration. “Let’s talk about power,” begins the singer. “Because, really, that’s what this story’s about. Physical power: its beauty, its wonder. The way it never stops amazing you. Then there’s spiritual power, the kind that really matters. The power you can’t see, only sense. The power you need in those moments when life goes a little sideways on you. And, of course, lasting power. Only a select few know what it feels like to get to the top and stay there. And, somehow, keep getting better.”
Beyoncé’s words reference Biles’ challenges during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, particularly her struggle with the “twisties,” a condition that forced her to withdraw from the competition.
“Simone Biles inspires me and I’m pretty sure she inspires you too,” Beyoncé continues. “Such confidence in her strength, such beauty in her power, such a great lesson in her story. Brilliance, it doesn’t come easy. Gold can be a hell of a journey. And the greatest of all time is willing to put that title on the line every time she walks out there. Take your best shot, world. She’s ready for you.”
The advert is set to Beyoncé’s song “Just for Fun,” from her recent album *Cowboy Carter*.
Simone Biles secured her second gold medal of the competition on Thursday night. Reflecting on her journey, she said, “It is crazy I’m in the conversation of greatest of all athletes because I’m just Simone Biles from Spring in Texas. Three years ago I never thought I’d step on a gymnastic court again, but I worked hard, mentally and physically, even saw my therapist this morning, just making sure I’m mentally well.”
The advert serves as a tribute to Biles’ resilience, strength, and the inspiration she provides to millions around the world.
