(2019·潍坊模拟)Simone was born in Ohio，but grew up in Texas.Early on，she and her siblings(兄妹)were adopted by her grandparents，who she says support her in everything.She first realized she wanted to be a gymnast at the age of 6 when she and her classmates went on a field trip to a local gym.A coach at the gym saw her natural talent and wrote a letter to her grandparents urging them to get her involved.The sport she signed up for "for fun" soon turned into her life's enthusiasm.

Simone is energetic，so it's no surprise that she's got a few medals in her time.Her ten world gold medals are the most ever achieved by a woman in gymnastics history.She is also the first woman to win four medals at the same World Championships，which happened in her second year performing in 2014.

In 2015 Simone became the first gymnast to win three constant all－around titles at the World Gymnastic Championships.She even amazed herself，telling the interviewer " I_blew_my_own_mind. " and posting to social media "breaking history is kind of cool."

What surprised everyone most though，was that she was performing perfectly as she usually does-her skill is so beyond everyone else that she can't be beaten even when she trips up!
