Simone Biles
Biles burst into the gymnastics scene in 2016 when she won five medals at the Rio Olympics, including gold in the team competition, the individual all-around competition, the vault, and the floor exercise. She also received a bronze in the balance beam competition. The competitor shattered the mark for the most gold medals an American had previously earned in a single competition. Following her Olympic triumph in Rio, Biles decided to retire from gymnastics. With Sasha Farber, she competed on Dancing With the Stars season 24. She also wrote an autobiography titled Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance. Biles began competing in 2018, the same year she disclosed that she, too, had been a victim of Nassar.
