As an athlete, Simone Biles has gone through a lot. However, her personal life has complications even greater than any gymnastics trick she performs. Though, the biggest human quality that Biles carries is her undaunted strength to deal with everything happening in her life – be it the onus of being the best gymnast or handling the challenging family relationships that she is linked to.
Life wasn’t always as flashy as it is now for Simone Biles. The Olympic medalist has had a tough childhood, having been separated from her family due to her parent’s drug issues. She had to live in foster care until her grandparents adopted her and her younger sister, Adria.

But those aren’t questions for me because that was her lifestyle when I wasn’t even born.”
