I think a story about Simone Biles would make an excellent movie.

Simone had a hard childhood;


both her parents were drug addicts and she had ended up being raised by her maternal
grandparents. As a kid, Simone had attended a gymnastics center on an excursion where she
started imitating the athletes' movements, which resulted on being caught by one of the coaches,
who ended up becoming her personal coach and her helper throughout all her successful career.

She had participated in the world artistic gymnastics championship in 2013, where she won 2 gold
medals at just 16 years old, gaining a lot of popularity. It´s said that in the 2 following years Simone
had earned 4 gold medals each year.

For her first Olympics, she was already a superstar known worldwide and it had been said that she
was a favorite for several medals, she didn't disappoint, and she had taken home gold and bronze
medals.

As her career progressed and Simone became even more successful, with several medals won over
the years, in Tokyo 2020 (2021) she had decided to retire from the competition for a while to focus
on her health, turning into an advocate for mental health in the sport.

By giving this small backstory on Simone Biles, I believe this would be a story focused on her
achievements as an athlete, it would be a story of overcoming all the things trying to keep us
down, that no matter the circumstances we are surrounded by, we got to keep working on what
we love to become everything we have dreamed on.
