Simone Biles

I 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.

I always say my biggest competitor is myself because, whenever I step out there on the mat, I'm competing against myself to prove that I can do this and that I am very well trained, prepared for it.

I take things one step at a time.

I'm really old-fashioned. An Epsom salt bath, that's genuinely better than any massage.

'Mad Men' was one of the first shows where Netflix was the first syndication window.
