Olympic Gold Medalist Simone Biles responds to popular misconceptions and assumptions about gymnastics and the athletes who participate in the sport.
Do gymnastics really stunt your growth? Do gymnasts constantly have wedgies in their uniforms? Find out what myths are false and which ones ring true as Simone sets out clear the air for Glamour magazine.
Simone is the greatest gymnast in history. At 24 she’s broken just about every record there is to break. Twenty-five World Championship medals, four never-before-been-done moves named after her, and a performance level so fearless, it raised the bar for the entire sport.
