Simone

Biles
Simone Biles was born on March 14th, 1997 in Columbus, Ohio.
By the time she was three, it was clear that her biological mother,
who struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, was unable to
take care of Biles and her younger sister Adria. Her maternal
grandfather, Ron, and his second wife, Nellie, stepped in and
brought the pair to Spring, Texas, a suburb of Houstonand
sixteen years later, theyre simply mom and dad to their
adopted daughters.
Young Biles was fearless, teaching herself to do back flips off her
familys mailbox before she even took a gymnastics class. It was
a daycare field trip to a gym that led her to the sportthe sixyear-old saw the older girls flipping and twisting and immediately
started copying them. She began her training, and a year later
her talent caught the eye of Aimee Boorman.
I always say my biggest competitor is myself, because
whenever I step out there on the mat Im competing against
myself to prove that I can do this and that I am very well trained,
prepared for it. So I always just listen to [my moms advice] and
be the best Simone that you can be. It just really sticks with me
whenever I go out to competition. Simone Biles on her motto
