hertenth Olympic medal win in Paris, Biles has sparked a surprising controversy. While some athletes ignite debates with their performances, Simone has done it with her preference for plain hot dogs

Her fans, used to seeing her excel on the gymnastics floor, now saw her delight in simple pleasures, condiments or not.
