Week 1<\/h3>\n

\"Simone<\/a><\/p>\n

This week meet Simone Biles! Simone (@simonebiles) has demolished numerous records and claimed a mountain of titles for herself and all for good reason. In the Rio 2016 Olympics she won gold in vault, floor, Individual and Team all-around, and won bronze on beam. She won the all-around by a 2.1 margin of victory which is greater than the margins of victory from 1980-2012 combined! Some of her other accomplishments include being the most decorated World Championship American Gymnast with fourteen total medals (10 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze). She even invented a move called \u201cThe Biles\u201d.<\/p>\n
