Simone Biles was born on 14 March 1997 <\/span><b>in Columbus, Ohio<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Her parents were addicts, so she was adopted by her grandparents \u2014along with her siblings\u2014 who acted as parents to her. It was at the age of six when she became interested in gymnastics and the rest is history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simone <\/span><b>accumulated 37 medals between world championships and olympics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, debuting in Rio 2016 in which she won four gold medals at just 19 years old. That is amazing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January 2018, she claimed to have been sexually abused by former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar, along with hundreds of other gymnasts. This was a major setback for her and something she struggled with for many years, and as we later saw, it took a toll on her mental health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>\u2018I have won 25 medals at World Championships, seven at the Olympic Games, and I am a survivor of sexual abuse\u2019<\/i>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how gymnast Simone Biles introduced herself to a US Senate committee investigating the FBI&#8217;s alleged mismanagement of the biggest sports scandal of the century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Larry Nassar at his 58 years, is currently serving life in prison after being convicted in 2017 and 2018 of sexual assaults on more than 250 gymnasts (most were minors), committed at the gymnastics federation, Michigan State University.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/socialpubli.com\/blog\/pain-points\/\">pain points<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Her retirement <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this somehow affected her and, at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games,<\/span><b> Biles announced her exit from participation during the artistic gymnastics team final<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, claiming mental health problems. Her very hard trajectory mixed with the demands and the stress to which elite sportswomen are subjected took its toll. When she announced her retirement, the social networks turned to the athlete and figures such as Michelle Obama, Justin Bieber and Janet Jackson offered her help and encouragement through their social media channels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biles was out of competition for two years after the Tokyo Games <strong>due to<\/strong><\/span><strong> twisties<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>, a psychological problem that prevented her from controlling her body in her aerial performances.<\/strong> This increases the possibility of serious or critical injury if the gymnast forgets in the moment how to land the exercise safely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Her debut in Paris 2024\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She returned to competition in August 2023 with a victory at the US Classic in Chicago, the start of her preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She has been in a relationship with American football player Jonathan Owens since August 2020.
