Simone Biles is the name in gymnastics right now. She just recently took home the all-around gymnast title at the Pacific Rim Championships, and that's just one of many top titles she's won in the past.
She truly is a powerhouse, not to mention naturally talented. But that doesn't mean that she doesn't have to train as hard as humanly possible. The only way to discover a natural talent for gymnastics is to train your behind off from a very early age.
Biles started when she was 6 years old, which is, apparently, very late for a career gymnast to begin the sport. She caught on very quickly, though, and now she works out and trains six days a week. I have a feeling, though, that if her coaches didn't insist on a day of rest, she'd be in the gym working on her muscles or her routine on Sundays, too. She's just that driven and committed to being the very best that she can be.
While she's hoping to take home Olympic gold, and whil her long list of accomplishments is much more than most of us will even come close to achieving in our whole lives, she's still a bubbly 19-year-old girl. When Ellen asks her who her crush is? Her laugh is so sweet, and just look at that genuine smile!
