She once revealed via an Instagram post that she had been weighed down by negative talks about her figure in dresses and swimsuits. But she stated that she was able to put on a solid face and let things slide.
In an interview with Today, Biles opened up about her challenges while growing up. Biles said that her athletic body was a source of bullying. Biles wore sweaters often to cover her arms. However, being around other gymnasts helped her feel more confident and comfortable.

Despite the body-shaming comments, Biles remains one of the celebrated gymnasts in history. She was adopted at six years old with her sister, Adria, by their maternal grandparents, Ronald and Nellie.
Despite her difficulties, she persevered to become a great athlete. Simone is the most decorated gymnast ever and holds seven Olympic medals.
She claimed her seventh U.S title at the just concluded 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Biles will need three medals to surpass Vitaly Scherbo and become the most decorated gymnast at the Olympics and around the globe.
