ROCHESTER, NY – Professional Gymnast Simone Biles has been named the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the second straight month.

Her unrivaled performance will lead to greater glory in the Olympics and Gymnastics world. She was again on her way to becoming the greatest gymnast of all time.

Other finalists for the month of July in order of how the NSMA ranked them were: Katie Ledecky (swimming), Carlos Alcaraz (tennis), Xander Schauffle (golf), Tadej Pogacar (cycling), Barbora Krejcikova (tennis), Lewis Hamilton (auto racing), Brent Rooker (baseball), Cole Sands (baseball) and Zhilei Zhang (boxing) – TIE.

Biles’ selection as the Hickok Belt® winner for the month of July recognizes her as “the best of the best” in professional sports for the month, and makes her the sixth candidate eligible to receive the 2024 overall award, joining Luka Doncic, Scottie Scheffler, Mikaela Shiffrin, Patrick Mahomes, Jannik Sinner and other finalists throughout the year based on NSMA voting.
