Anyone with even a passing interest in gymnastics has known about Simone Biles for years. Although she’s yet to compete in an Olympics – she was born three months short of the age cutoff for London 2012 – the 19-year-old has already been widely hailed as the most talented gymnast in history. Last year Biles became the first woman ever to capture a third straight world all-around championship, finishing an eye-popping 1.083 points ahead of her team-mate and reigning Olympic champion Gabby Douglas. She’s won 14 overall medals at worlds, including 10 golds, and is the first woman since 1974 to win four consecutive all-around titles at US nationals. It’s been three years since she entered an all-around competition and didn’t walk away the winner.
