Even before Simone Biles touched down in Rio de Janeiro for her first Olympic games, the American artistic gymnast was already seen as one of the greatest and most dominant athletes in her sport.
Born on March 14, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio, Biles first tried her hand at gymnastics at the age of 6 years old during a day-care field trip. By 8 years old, she was training with artistic gymnastics coach Aimee Boorman, and was competing at an elite level by 14, racking up tremendous success over the next few years.
