This biography on the life and career of Simone Biles, the most decorated American gymnast of all time. It chronicles her journey from a challenging childhood being raised by her grandparents after being placed in foster care, to her meteoric rise as a prodigy in gymnastics. The biography covers her historic achievements like becoming the first woman to win three consecutive World All-Around titles, her dominant performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics where she won four gold medals, and her iconic signature moves like "The Biles" and "The Biles II" named after her. It also explores her advocacy work as a survivor of sexual abuse, her prioritization of mental health at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and her overall impact as a trailblazing icon who has inspired many beyond just the world of gymnastics.
