Simone Biles' talent was seen immediately by everybody watching her compete in the 2016 Olympic Games. She quickly became a household name as she took home gold in the team event, the individual all-around competition, the vault, and the floor exercise! She set an American record for most gold medals won at a single Olympic Games.

Biles went on to compete on season 24 of Dancing with the Stars and went back to gymnastics in 2018. During the 2020 Olympic Games, she famously dropped out of her competitions citing her mental health. Her situation started a fire of conversations surrounding athletes and their mental health, hopefully turning things around for the better.
