Learn about the record-breaking gymnastics career and inspiring life
of Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles in this book from the New York
Times Best-Selling Who HQ series.
In 2021, Simone Biles shocked the world when she pulled out of the Tokyo
Olympic Games after experiencing the "twisties" -- a scary feeling
during which gymnasts lose control of their bodies while mid-air.
Audiences had expected Simone to dominate these games. With seven
Olympic medals, twenty-five World Championships medals, and four
gymnastic skills named after her, she is considered to be the G.O.A.T.
of women's gymnastics. That summer, however, Simone became more than
just a legendary athlete. She became an advocate for mental health and
protecting yourself even when the world is watching.
