Well-known athlete Simone Biles has been in the news again; this time it’s for her small wedding to NFL player Jonathan Owens. They got married in a small ceremony, and Biles wore a simple $120 wedding dress and $35 shoes. But soon, people started to say bad things about Biles’ hair, which some called “unkempt.”
Because Biles is so talented and tough, she responded to the criticism on Twitter, writing, “I think they also forget I live in HOUSTON, TEXAS & I sweat those out!!” People who liked and didn’t like her answer argued about it, and many people came to her defence.

Biles’ life story shows how strong and determined she is, even without the wedding and hair scandal. Biles was born in Ohio to a mother who was addicted to drugs and a father who had left her family.
Biles and her brothers often went hungry. Biles was put into foster care and later adopted by her grandparents, Nellie and Ron. They became her rock of support.
Biles used gymnastics as a way to relax and have fun, and it helped her become one of the most honoured gymnasts in history.
Biles has continued to soar, getting many medals and breaking records, even though she has had to deal with problems like abuse and criticism.
Biles has done amazing things recently at the Paris Olympics, where she won three gold medals and two silver medals. People are excited about her success, but she has asked her fans to “soak up the moment” and not ask her about her plans for the future.
Biles left behind more than just a lot of medals. The gymnastics centre she and her parents built encourages diversity and inclusion, and it will serve as an inspiration to the next generation of athletes.
Through her journey, Biles has shown that anyone can get through hard times and do great things if they are determined and have help.
