With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamusa.org\/usa-gymnastics\/athletes\/simone-biles\">30 combined Olympic and World Championship medals<\/a>, Biles&#8217; dominance is well recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, she just flipped her way into another power move that looks to add to her championship winning ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simone Biles announced that she left Nike and signed with Gap Inc.&#8217;s Athleta Brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Welcome to Team Athleta, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Simone_Biles?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Simone_Biles<\/a>!

Let&#8217;s do this.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving the all-mighty Nike for the smaller Athleta is a major win for Biles and the brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 1998, Athleta is a women&#8217;s activewear brand. The brand not only works with top-notch athletes but is also extremely focused on who they are and what they do with their platform and voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSimone embodies our brand through her advocacy, mentorship and work in the community,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/business-news\/retail\/simone-biles-teams-with-athleta-in-long-range-partnership-1234808026\/\">said Jana Henning<\/a>, chief product officer of Athleta. &#8220;Our team is looking forward to working collaboratively with her to bring the same elements of confidence, strength, and grace she demonstrates on and off the mat into future collections for girls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is the reason why they signed track and field star Allyson Felix in 2019. Like Biles, Felix is also an Olympic gold medalist and former Nike athlete. Felix famously took the company to task for the way in which they treated their pregnant athletes when she was having her child. <\/p><div id=\"first-3860524523\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biles, like Felix, uses her platform to speak out on issues that need to be addressed.
