In the 2016 Olympics, Simone won gold medals in individual all-around, vault, and floor as well as a bronze medal on the balance-beam.
At those same olympic games, she was also a member of the gold medal-winning team dubbed the “Final Five” with Gabby Douglas.
She recently became the FIRST AMERICAN to win medals in every event at world gymnastics championships.

She’s even considered by many to be the greatest gymnast of all-time.
Her life story is now Lifetime movie.
From foster child to undeniable, fierce, and fearless champion.
Simone, you’re the reason gymnastics became a sport I watch at every opportunity. Your tenacity and resilience are inspiring. I can’t imagine the amount of young lives you’ve touched. I hope nothing but continued success and a lifetime of happiness for you. Keep shining!
