The most decorated gymnast, Simone Biles, was born on March 14, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio. Simone also has a little sister named Adria Biles, and she is the closest person she had in her difficult times. When they both were little, their mother became a drug addict, and they had to live in foster care. At such a tender age, the sisters stood with each other despite having difficult, patchy fights, and did not leave each other’s side.

Adira was just three years young than Simone and, being older, Simone was very protective of her. Simone’s protectiveness was a little hard for Adria, and she used to think of her as bossy. But things changed with time, and they grew close.
