Time magazine released its list of the 100 most influential people of 2021 on Wednesday, and several athletes were chosen.
Gymnasts Simone Biles and Suni Lee, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani, tennis player Naomi Osaka and track athlete Allyson Felix were all included.
Time tweeted a photo of a cover featuring Biles, along with praise from tennis legend Serena Williams:
