Ronni Biles is the most decorated toddler in Olympic history.
The adorable 1-year-old niece of 11-time medalist Simone Biles wore the same gymnastics leotards as her aunt at the Olympics in Paris. And if cuteness was an Olympic sport, Ronni would be at the top of the podium.
Photos of Ronni were shared on social media by her mother Sammi, who is married to Ron Biles II, Simone's oldest brother. Ronni, who is in a toddler gymnastics class, wore bedazzled leotards that feature the same stars and stripes and crystals as those worn by Team USA.
The 20-month-old toddler just needs to complete the outfit by borrowing one of Aunt Simone's gold medals.
The Team USA leotards are made by the Pennsylvania-based sportswear company GK Elite, which has designed custom looks for Biles and her teammates. Ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, Biles had a a crystal-encrusted goat head emblazoned on her leotard, symbolizing her status as the sport's greatest of all time. Leading up to the Paris Olympics, Jordan Chiles designed a leotard that was inspired by an outfit Beyoncé wore during her concert tour.
Leotard replicas are sold for gymnastics fans who want to sport them in the same way sports fans wear jerseys of their favorite teams.

"We wanted to provide that same experience to our athletes so that they can wear the leotard of their favorite athlete, their Olympic team while they’re competing," said Matt Cowan, chief executive officer of GK Elite. "We envision little girls doing handstands in front of the TV while Simone is nailing her dismount."
That was certainly the case for Ronni, who looks like she might be the next Olympian in the Biles family.
"Maybe it’s in the blood?" said Sammi, who added that she also was a competitive gymnast. "Either way, we all really love the sport, and it seems to now come full circle with our daughter, too."
We'll pencil in Ronni's Olympic debut for the 2036 Games.
