American Simone Biles, who won four golds at last week's world gymnastics championships in China, including the all-around title, was named Sportswoman of the Year by the Women's Sports Foundation on Wednesday.
Biles, 17, also won gold in the floor exercise and balance beam in addition to the women's team title.
Biles said she felt honored to have her name added to a winners' list that included women who had inspired her, including gymnastics champions Gabby Douglas (2012) and Nastia Liukin (2008), and swimmer Missy Franklin (2013).
"To be recognized with the award is unbelievable," she said.
