Simone Biles' incredible career and life

Biles, the most successful Olympic gymnast tied with Shannon Miller, has had one of the most illustrious careers so far. Born in Columbus, Ohio, Biles was raised by her grandparents after her mother was unable to take care of her and her siblings.

Simone Biles' career started when she was just six. She tried gymnastics on a field-care trip. She soon joined Bannon's Gymnastics, an optional training program.

Her elite career began in 2011. It was in the same year that she participated in her first U.S. Classic. Soon after, in 2013, Biles made her senior debut with Katelyn Ohashi. She finished second in the FIG's American Cup. However, she never looked back since then.

Simone Biles participated in her first World Championship in Antwerp. She astonished the sports fraternity with a stunning two gold and a bronze finish in the competition.

In 2015, she competed in her third world championship and repeated her incredible performance with five golds and a bronze medal. She also competed in her third City of Jelso trophy, capturing another five gold medal hauls and taking her tally to 15 in this competition.

Finally, in 2016 she participated in her first Olympic Event which was held in Rio. She went into the competition with high expectations and did not disappoint.
