Raised in Spring, Texas, by her grandparents, Biles faced early life challenges, including her mother's inability to care for Simone and her siblings, which led them into foster care. Eventually, her grandparents formally adopted her, providing a stable environment conducive to her burgeoning talent in gymnastics.

Competing for the USA, she has amassed an unparalleled collection of 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals. Biles is renowned for her extraordinary difficulty and execution in routines, including skills named after her, such as the Biles on vault and floor exercise.
Her career is marked by dominant performances at the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics, despite facing and openly addressing mental health challenges at the latter, bringing global attention to athletes' mental health. Beloved in both her home and adopted countries, with Belize being a special place she considers a second home, Biles' legacy is a testament to her resilience, skill, and trailblazing spirit in the world of gymnastics. Today, she continues to compete and inspire, solidifying her status as a sports icon.
