She became the first female American gymnast to win four gold medals at a single Olympics, in the 2016 Rio Games. She is also the first gymnast to win three straight world all-around titles from 2013 to 2015.

Katelyn Ohashi was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1997, and when she was nine years old, her family relocated to Kansas City, Missouri. She was a passionate gymnast who made her national gymnastics debut at the 2009 Junior Olympic National Championships when she was just 12 years old.

Later that year, Ohashi and her family relocated to Plano, Texas, where she remained active in competitions throughout her time at Spring Creek Academy, and up until her 2015 graduation from Plano Senior High School.

Simone Biles made her senior international debut in March 2013 at the FIG World Cup event called the American Cup. When they participated in the tournament, the two were barely 15 years old.
