The award, presented by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), honors athletes who have displayed exceptional fairness, respect, and dedication to the spirit of sports. Biles and Chiles, both known for their extraordinary performances on the mat, are equally celebrated for their camaraderie and support for one another throughout their careers.
