Flying high : the story of gymnastics champion Simone Biles

Before she was a record-breaking, world-famous gymnast, Simone Biles spent time in foster care as a young child.

Nimble and boundlessly energetic, she cherished every playground and each new backyard.

When she was six years old, Simone’s family took shape in a different way: her grandparents, Ron and Nellie Biles, adopted her and her sister Adria.

Simone was also introduced to gymnastics that same fateful year, launching a lifelong passion fueled by remarkable talent, sacrifice, and the undying support of her family.
