<br/><br/>Who Is Simone Biles? -- From Ohio to Texas -- Finding gymnastics -- Rising up the ranks -- Becoming an Olympian -- Looking out for herself -- Timelines. 
<br/><br/> In 2021, Simone Biles shocked the world when she pulled out of the Tokyo Olympic Games after experiencing the 'twisties'--a scary feeling during which gymnasts lose control of their bodies while mid-air. Audiences had expected Simone to dominate these games. With seven Olympic medals, twenty-five World Championships medals, and four gymnastic skills named after her, she is considered to be the G.O.A.T. of women's gymnastics. That summer, however, Simone became more than just a legendary athlete. She became an advocate for mental health and protecting yourself even when the world is watching.
