Simone Biles opened up about the motivation behind starting gymnastics and the growth in her journey

Simone Biles started doing gymnastics when she was just a six-year-old, and today, she has become the most decorated gymnast of all time. She has solidified her legacy by achieving several accomplishments, including 11 Olympic and 30 World Championships medals.

The 28-year-old recently sat for an interview with Fox 26 Houston, where she made her feelings known about choosing gymnastics as her career. Revealing that she started gymnastics to get a college sponsorship, Bailes said:

“My 'Why' was to just really have fun and brace it and see how far I could go and hopefully one day get a college scholarship. And that evolved over the years as I started progressing through the sports pretty quickly. Like, 'oh maybe one day, I can go the Olympics' and then I was training with some girls I had gone to World and been to an Olympic team. So, that's kind of why it changed but other than that, it was to embrace who I am, to be strong, to be beautiful and bold.”

At the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles won the gold medals in the team all-around, individual all-around, and the vault exercise. She also won a silver medal in the floor exercise.
