In the morning, I usually get up between 7:40 A.M. and 7:45 A.M., and then I’ll brush my teeth, do my hair, and just throw on my leotard and my clothes and go to the kitchen.

SIMONE BILESAt the end of the day, if I can say I had fun, it was a good day.
SIMONE BILESI’m the first Simone Biles.
SIMONE BILESWhen I was younger, I thought every kid was adopted because that’s all I’ve known. I have everything I need, so I never felt the need to have answers for what happened.
SIMONE BILESThe floor exercise is a way to express your personality.
SIMONE BILESI’m thrilled that I was able to share my first Olympic Games experience with my U.S. teammates.
SIMONE BILESEvery year, I think of Worlds as the big meet, but now, it’s the Olympics. I’m blessed to even have the opportunity to think about it and work for it.
SIMONE BILESI make breakfast, which is usually Kellogg’s Red Berries or egg whites, and then I go to the gym that’s only 10 minutes away.
SIMONE BILESIt doesn’t even matter if I don’t win a self-gold – after every meet, I have pizza. Pepperoni pizza.
SIMONE BILESI never felt I had questions or needed answers or had a part of me that was missing.
SIMONE BILESThe support down here in Rio has been amazing – between my family, Team U.S.A. and Team Kellogg’s, I’ve felt so much love. This whole experience has been a dream come true.
SIMONE BILESI think we have other things to worry about than some Zika virus.
SIMONE BILESI think for me, the most fun competition that I’ve had was my first Worlds.
SIMONE BILESIf I won gold in 2016, I think it would change my life.
SIMONE BILESMost people would focus on concentrating more, and I can’t do that. It almost makes me overthink a lot of my things. I have to focus on not thinking.
SIMONE BILESI started gymnastics when I was six years old. I was at day care, and they took us on a field trip to a gym club, Bannon’s Gymnastix in Houston, and that’s how I got started.
