Heading into this Olympic weekend, we're taking a closer look at Team USA and the superstars leading our country to gold. First on our list? Small but mighty Simone Biles, who has been stunning us with ridiculously insane floor routines, aerial maneuvers, and being upside down midair more often than she's on the ground.

POPSUGAR got the chance to chat with Simone during her journey to Rio, and we got a sneak peek into the mind of this high-flying American champion — and what makes her tick.

Let's get to know Simone a little better before we tune into the Olympic Games this weekend. Since she loves inspirational quotes (as you'll soon see), we thought we'd leave you with this Shakespeare nugget: "Though she be little, she is fierce!" This quote totally comes to life in Simone.
