Learn about the record-breaking gymnastics career and inspiring
life of Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles in the Who HQ Now series
featuring newsmakers and trending topics. 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.
