At just 19 years old, Final Five member Simone Biles laid everything she had out on the gymnastics floor at the 2016 Summer Olympics, and it paid off. The world watched as the gymnast took home four gold medals for her all-around performance, her work with a team, her floor exercises, and her vault skills; she also took home a bronze medal for her work on the balance beam. In her inspiring 2016 autobiography Courage to Soar, Simone opens up about her childhood and first involvement with gymnastics, the years she spent training, and her time at the Olympics. She shares how her family, passion, and diligence helped her make sacrifices, work hard, and become the most decorated gymnast in American history.
