That's me.

YTS.MX

I look like a sparkly human flag.

Being there with my friends
and family meant the world to me,

especially since it almost never happened.

I'm Simone Biles.
This is my journey.

I'm here to place you in foster care.
Do you know what that is?

We were just playing.

Oh, it's not about playing outside,

you didn't do anything wrong.

It's my job to look after you,
your brother,

and your sister's safety.

I can take care of them.

Your mama needs help.

I think you know that, Ashley.

You've already had two servings.

What are you, the chicken police?

It's not about the chicken.
It's about the broccoli mixed in.

You're already 50 percent gas.

What?

- It's true.
- He makes a good point.

Don't encourage them.

You leave my baby alone.
Eat the chicken.

And have more broccoli,

then stand by your brother's door.

- Hello?
Mr. Biles?

I'm calling because your grandkids
have been put in foster care.

Are they okay?

They're fine,
but they'd be better off with family.

And Shanon?

She's unable to care for them right now.

Alright. The kids are almost
all packed up and ready to go.

Thank you for taking care of them.

I knew Shanon was struggling.

But when the social worker called

about my grandkids being
in foster care, I--

Oh, it was good of you to come.

Sometimes extended family
doesn't wanna be involved.

I wanna support Shanon.

Give her time to get sober
and get her kids home to her.

They need stability.

Ashley is a mini-mom.

You wanna make sure
she gets time to be a kid.

And Tevin, he's a daredevil

so you have to watch him like a hawk.

And Simone is even worse

because she's half his size
with twice the confidence.

And baby Adria, she needs
to get her nap because--

Adria cries loud.

You will not steal my heart, Miss Simone.

- Morning.
Good morning, boss.

- Hello.
- Hi, Mrs. Biles.

She's coming.

She's here.

Congratulations!

Congrats on your new little ones, boss.

Oh, thank you.

Your daughter's three kids are coming
to live with you, is that right?

Oh, Shanon is Ron's daughter
from his first marriage.

And it's four kids.

Three girls and a boy.

Wow, was life getting
too relaxing for you?

It's gonna be an adjustment for us all.

God never gives anyone
more than they can handle.

Absolutely.

Bon Appetit.

- Hi, grandma!
- Oh, there she is!

Come on this way.

Family room, the kitchen...

Why don't you show Tevin your room?

Sure. It's going to be so much fun
sharing a room in high school.

Just two more years
until college.

Wanna try it?

Look at her.

Wanna bounce Simone and see
how high she can go?

Nah, we don't wanna scare her.

I'm not scared.

Jump higher, jump higher!

Hey Simone, Adria!
Hi, grandpa.

Hey, babies.

Where you goin'?

What're you doing in that fridge?

Get out of that fridge.

Orange juice? Not too much.

And where are you going?

Where does she think she--

where are you going?

Not with that orange juice upstairs.

You see what she's doing, right?

Hi, grandpa.

Look at that.

Where are my kids?

Hey, so there you guys are.

Hi, grandpa.

I was looking for ya!

Look at this. Look at this!

My family.

Come on, scooch it over.

Oh, it's so great.

- How are you guys doing?
- Okay, finish reading this.

What're you reading?

- Mom!
- Mom!

Oh, I missed y'all so much.

It looks like Tevin's grown a foot.

Y'all been having a good visit?

Yeah, but can we come home now?

Grandpa invited me so we could
figure all that out.

You're so quiet, Simone.

Come give mama a hug.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, baby.

Hey, Ashley. Everything okay?

No. Tevin and I wanna go home.

Mama's doing much better.

You saw her.

I did, and I know you enjoyed
her visit but it's too soon.

Tevin and I really want to go home.

We'll talk about it.

- Thank you, grandpa.
- Give me some.

I love you.

Alright, off to bed.

We don't want you falling asleep in class.

Good night.

I didn't say yes.

I said we'd talk about it.

I just don't want them to be disappointed.

It was always a plan to get Shanon healthy

and get the kids back to her.

I do not want to keep a mother
away from her children

but she just got well, Ron.

Taking care of four kids can
compromise anyone's sobriety.

Social services said
by the time they get home

there'll be a safety net in place.

They'll stay at their old foster home
for a few weeks--

Then what?

They drug test Shanon and when she passes

they transition the kids
back into her home.

And then we visit and spoil them silly

the way grandparents are meant to.

Do you honestly believe
those children are better off

in Ohio than with us?

Okay.

- I love you.
- I love you.

Bye, baby.

You were in foster care,

then a year with your grandfather
in Texas,

then back to foster care. Is that correct?

Mm-hm.

She said she wanted us back.

Well, of course she does.

Then why can't we live with her?

It's 'cause she can't pass
a drug test, right?

Well, the judge feels that it's time

for you to have more of a permanent home.

Shanon can't look after you anymore.

The judge can say whatever he wants.

I'm afraid you don't have a choice.

They do.

My sister lives real close to here

and she's offered to take care
of you and Tevin.

I know Texas is far away
from your school and friends,

and we can visit all the time.

But what will happen to Simone and Adria?

They will live with me and grandma.

I'll miss you.

What we are doing here today
is uniting this new family.

And even more than that
we are formally creating

the parent-child relationship

between Ron, Nellie, Simone and Adria.

So Ron, I think you've prepared
a few words, did you?

Thank you, your honor.

Today we're family.

And within any family
there are ups and downs.

There will be good times and tough times,

sacrifices and successes,

and we will stick together
and support one another

no matter what.

We are honored to be
your mother and father.

Well, with that,
this adoption is final

and we offer our congratulations
to the Biles family.

Oh, picture. Picture. Everybody smile.
Over there.

- Over here.
- Girls, smile. Smile.

Mom? Dad?

- Mom!
- Yes, Simone?

Dad?

What is it, Simone?

Nothing.

I thought you might like this place.

Can you do a flip?

Your turn. It's harder than it looks.

Can you do that again?

And this time keep your knees
in and point your toes.

How long has she been taking gymnastics?

She hasn't.

Aimee, you gotta see this girl.

I can't. I'm setting up
in an effort to mold young minds.

Junior Olympians skilled
in the fine art of talking back to me

in multicolored leos.

Aimee.

No training.

She shouldn't be able to do that.

I know.

- Mr. Biles? Hi.
- Hi.

I wanted to ask if Simone
has given any thought

to joining the Junior Olympic track?

Simone is six.

The only thought she gives
is about frozen waffles

and the Cheetah Girls.

- She likes the Cheetah Girls more.
- I'm serious.

You don't need to upsell me, I'm pre-paid.

I'm not upselling.

I think Simone might have a gift.

Your Jen is looking so good
these days. Look at her go.

Your Lisa's really grown up
a lot this year.

These Junior Olympic levels
are very difficult to master.

You know, I keep trying to tell her that

but she's so hard on herself.

Ugh. They all are.

So they, uh, compete
at different skill levels

at other gyms?

They compete at a district,
state, regional,

and hopefully one day, national level.

Mm-hm. They're all just trying to get
the attention of USA Gymnastics.

There are so many sacrifices, though.

The constant driving, injuries,
getting to all the competitions.

Do they have any fun?

If they win!

My little girl is pretty new to all this.

Awe, bless her heart for trying.

Okay, the basic skills,
backwalk over on beam,

round-off back handspring
on floor, kip on bars,

front handspring on vault.

Levels four, five, and six are compulsory.

They all learn the same skills,
but after six they start

designing more difficult routines.

You know, her daughter, Jenna,

is one of the best girls here.

She's been stuck at level four for months.

It is so cute that you're here
cheering her on.

What a good dad you are.

- Thank you.
- Which one's yours?

That one.

Oh.

Dad, did you see my vault?

They're moving me into level five.

That's great, baby.
Don't forget to drink your water.

Bye.

You're gonna let me do a giant?

Not a baby giant, but a real giant?

All great gymnasts have
to master it, right?

Am I gonna become a great gymnast?

Now, that's your choice, not mine.

You ready?

Legs together. Point your toes.

Yep.

Good, that's it.

Focus. Great.

Ow!

Alright, come on.

You okay?

I think I'm okay.

Here, let's get some water.

Okay.

Are you ready?

I'm not doing that again.

Yes, you are.
We're doing this. Come on.

No. You can't make me.

- Okay.
- I can't.

- Yes, you can.
- I can't, I'm scared.

- Yes, you can.
- No.

Put your arms up.

Good. One, two, three.

Alright, tighten up. Tighten up.

Tighten up those legs.

Alright, kip up.

You got this. Come on.

Yep. Straighten your legs.

Yep, good.

Nice. And you can let go.

That was a bad fall.

Great gymnasts get back up.

Sorry I was late today.

How was practice?

Good.

I wanna be a great gymnast.

♪ Nobody ringing my telephone now ♪

♪ Oh how I miss such a beautiful sound ♪

♪ And I don't even know how I'll survive ♪

♪ I won't make it to the show

♪ This is what it feels like ♪♪

Do you know who that was?

The national team coordinator
for USA Gymnastics.

Marta Karolyi, okay?

She trains all the best gymnasts.

Mary Lou Retton, Kerri Strug,
Nadia Comaneci?

Yeah.

She's a legend.

Was she watching?

Not sure. But if she was, she would have
seen a strong floor routine.

Thanks.

Wait, is there a "but"?

No, there's an "and".

And you need to work a little
on your bars.

Can't I be one of those gymnasts
who just doesn't do bars?

You could, but don't you wanna
impress your hero,

Marta Karolyi, one day?

That's probably the closest
I'll ever get to speaking to her.

Yeah, probably.

Hey!

Honey, put this on top.
Thank you.

Uh, no. It's your turn to clean up.

Ugh, it is amazing.

There are half as many dishes

since the boys went off to college

but you do twice as much complaining.

I'm exhausted.

I need to go to bed early.

I can't let Aimee down
being tired at practice.

Oh, but it's okay to let me down?

No, it is not okay.

Simone, no, she cannot shirk her
responsibilities in this house.

We are not your fans.

We are your family.

- Mm-hm.
- Never forget that.

You want me to start a diary?

A diary, a journal.

I want you to write down your feelings.

List your dreams.

One book can't possibly
hold all my dreams.

Whew! I certainly hope not.

I walked right into that one.

Are we good parents?

Yes. Good night.

Letting Simone pursue gymnastics

to the exclusion of everything else.

What about music? What about art?

She could have been a great soccer player.

You better hire a professional driver
if you gonna start all that.

I'm supposed to be retired.

What if we're giving Simone
too much attention

and Adria not enough?

Isn't it our responsibility
to keep everything even?

Our responsibility
is to keep them healthy,

teach them right from wrong,
and get out of the way.

Are you telling me to have faith?

I'm telling you Simone and Adria
have unbelievable talents

and the good sense to smile about it.

So I don't know if we're good parents
but we're blessed ones.

You're keeping me up
with all your chit-chat, anyway.

You're the one who started talking to me.

Hmm. Good night.

Good night, baby.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, bring it,

five, six, point seven, down eight.

You're doing great!

See? Just because I'm going
to a new school

doesn't mean I can't help you
in the talent show.

Be real. I'm a terrible dancer.

- I'll never win without you.
- She's got arms like a dude.

Her calves are bigger than yours.

She's an athlete!

Just because you two losers
can't get picked for P.E.

doesn't mean you take it out on her.

I'm looking at you, Dylan.

Take that off.
Your arms are amazing.

Dylan's a troll.

It's cool.
There's tons of Dylans at my school, too.

- But even if I quit, my calves--
- No way!

You're not quitting gymnastics

just because some jerks
can't handle your calves.

What do your friends at your fancy
new private school say?

I don't really have any.

I only go there because it makes it easier
to get to gym across the street.

If people are being jerks
you need to tell your parents.

No. If my parents found out

they'd pull me out of that school

and I need the extra gym time.

You're crazy.

But... come on, I am counting
down the days

until we hit high school together.

You'll be sick of seeing me so much.

No way.

Alright. Back to rehearsal.

I'm gonna take a video so you can study.

But you better not post it
unless my hair looks really good.

Okay. Five, six, seven, eight.

Oh, hey Nellie.

I'm worried about Simone.

Is it normal to ask a young girl
to work this hard?

No, it's not normal.

But Simone isn't normal.
She's extraordinary.

She has incredible air awareness.

She can feel exactly where
she is in space while flipping.

No coach can teach that.

Yeah, I know.
She's good at gymnastics--

No, she's not just good, Nellie.

We think she could go all the way.

All the way where?

Nationals. Worlds.

Maybe even the Olympics one day.

I'm just wondering what the cost will be.

Oh, we can work with you financially.

That's not the cost I meant.

A sweatshirt in 90-degree heat.

And you're not hungry.

I'm officially worried.

- Don't be.
- How's the new school going?

- Any new Marissas or Beccas in the mix?
- No.

Aimee said you might be
attending the camp soon.

Might be a good way to connect
with other athletes.

It's a developmental camp.

- Mm-hm.
- Run by Marta Karolyi.

Mm-hm.

I'd have to get a 34 to even
qualify for westerns

to have a chance.

Okay, then we better sign
you up for the qualifier.

I don't wanna go.

Why?

I don't wanna embarrass myself.

You're afraid and I get that.

But fear is not a healthy motivator.

A healthy motivator is me promising

if you make that 34 I'll buy you a dog.

Dad!

Don't get excited yet.

I've seen you on those bars.

I'm feeling pretty good about this bet.

You got this, Simone.

Come on, baby.

I'm so nervous for her,
my palms are sweating.

Why are you nervous?

Is it hot in here?

What is wrong with you guys?

34... 34...

38! She got 38!

Wooo!

♪ We get a dog!

♪ We get a dog! We get a dog! ♪
♪ We get a dog! ♪

Alright, alright, keep it together.

Wait, what just happened?

- Come here, Maggie.
- Get down!

- Good girl.
- Good girl?

She just jumped all over my counter.

I need you to pick up Adria
from practice today.

- Mm-hm.
- Aimee just called.

Marta didn't invite her
to the training camp.

How did Simone take it?

Not great.

I'm sure Aimee did the best she could

but she hasn't coached anyone
over level nine.

I mean, we're all in uncharted waters.

Maybe this is a good thing.

Maybe Simone needs to slow down.

Right. I'll let you handle
telling her that.

Ron, I'm being serious.

She's been having trouble
focusing in class

and her counsellor suggested

- that we have her tested for ADHD.
- Really?

I don't have ADHD
and you're not firing Aimee.

It's not her fault that I suck.

No, nobody said anything about you su--

I'm going to work where I hope
there is a little less yelling.

Oh, and please do not try
to cheer Simone up

by buying her another pet

or you'll be sleeping in the dog house
with your good girl.

I would miss you,
but Maggie is a great cuddler.

Mm-hm.

We appreciate everything
you've done for us

and I know that Simone can be a handful--

What's this about, Nellie?

I need to know if you can take
Simone any further

or if we need to find us another coach.

I expected this conversation.

Sort of surprised it took this long.

I'm not trying to offend you, I--

No, not at all.

Look, Simone is so talented.

In the beginning even I wondered

if I had what it took to coach her.

- You still have doubts?
- No.

If it looks like Simone
needs more than I can give

I will bring people in to assist

but I know we can do this together.

Okay.

We all started out as rookies,

it just feels right for us to move into
this next phase together.

Good.

Now for the bad news.

Marta wasn't wrong about Simone
not being ready for her camp.

We have a lot of work to do.

If we're gonna put her
on Marta Karolyi's radar

we need to step up her training.

Simone always does well
with her scores for execution

but she can only get ten points for that.

She needs to work on her
scores for difficulty.

There's no limit on those points.

Whatcha writing?

Ooh, big dreams.

Go to prom with a cute boy?

Duh.

Get a college gymnastics scholarship
to UCLA?

Double duh.

Be coached by Marta Karolyi
and...

meet Zac Efron?

I hate you!

Ah, let's see.

After 2012... swim with sharks,
cliff diving...

why does all the cool stuff
happen after 2012?

Wait, is it because you
don't wanna get injured

before the Olympics?

It's just dream stuff.
Didn't mom give you one of these?

Yeah, but I just kept writing
that I wanted to be Beyonce.

Haha, you wish!

Shhh! What is going on in here?

It's so late!

Mom, did you know Simone might wanna go

to the actual London Olympics?

Aimee told us that the age
requirement for London is 16

and you'll be 15.

You'll just miss that.

I'll be ancient by Rio Olympics.

I'll be 19.

What does age matter?

A dream is a dream.

If you want something bad enough

you will find a way.

Now, everybody to bed. Let's go.

Get to your own room, please.

And you are not Beyonce.

Get that booty out of here.

I'm gonna tell her father.

Here we are
at the Gliders Competition

where a top score
could result in an invitation

by Marta Karolyi,
the National Gymnastics Training Center.

Alright, here we go.

This is a dream come true.

I can't believe
I'm at the official training center

for USA women's gymnastics.

I've literally seen that tree
in my magazines!

What kind of magazine features a tree?

Wait, is that a camel?
I'm freaking out!

Are you freaking out?

No. Look, you realize the word
"camp" is a euphemism, right?

They train elite gymnasts here.

There's no s'mores.

I need you to be serious.

I'm sorry.

This is just how my face is.

Okay, now I'm officially freaking out.

Breathe.

Focus.

Simone, pay attention.

Did you see that suk full?

Stop getting distracted.

These girls are amazing.

I may never be that good.

We strive for perfection here.

If that's not your goal then maybe
you're in the wrong place.

Marta said I did well
at the camp.

ADHD is very common, you know.

I only have focus issues in school.

Not at home, or in gymnastics.
Or in--

Girl, you've been trying to dry
those dishes for 45 minutes.

People keep texting me.

You're overreacting, Simone.

Is that a symptom of ADHD?

Add it to my list of failures.

Hey. You are not a failure.

This is a medical condition.

I can't take any meds and compete.

I wouldn't feel right about it.

People who have asthma
take asthma medication

and they fill out an official form.

This is the same thing.

There's nothing to be ashamed of, baby.

Fine. I might be able to use
some focus in school.

But I feel good in the gym.

You do look good in the gym.

That new bar routine is gonna be dope.

- What?
- What?

I watch TV.

Don't look at me, he's your father.

Ooof.

She's made huge improvements.

We've discussed how bars can be
difficult for power gymnasts.

They're used to controlling the apparatus.

They need to let it control them.

How is her vault coming?

Amanar. Very difficult, yes?

She's working on it.

Yeah, well, she's working on many things
but she needs Amanar.

On vault her power will be her strength.

She has to listen to you.

Argh!!!

I can't make that catch.
I'm gonna fall in front of everyone.

Let's work on your Amanar instead.

What? No. If I miss my catch
I'm embarrassed.

If I mess up my Amanar I break my neck.

I know you can do it.

I've seen you do it in practice.

I don't feel confident
doing it for competition yet.

Marta needs to see you try it
at Nationals next week.

No. I'll hurt myself. I'm not doing it.

Welcome to the 2011
VISA Championships National Competition.

Simone won't rest until
she gets on this junior team.

♪ Feels good ♪

Nice.

♪ Like I knew it would ♪

♪ Feels good ♪

♪ Like I knew it would ♪♪

And now the judges
will announce the 13 gymnasts

for the junior national team.

Why is there so much
"gym mom" merchandise?

Where's the "gym dad" love?

I would rock that.

Ron, please. I can't take you.

Six, Brenna Dowell.

Seven, Kennedy Baker.

Eight, Kiana Winston.

Nine, Bailie Key.

Ten, Tyler Ross.

Eleven, Elizabeth Price.

Twelve, Brianna Brown.

Thirteen, Madison Desch.

She missed making the team by one?

Marta, I hope we're invited
to another camp soon.

Simone and I are eager to keep learning.

No, I'm afraid that's not possible.

Why?

Because she didn't do the Amanar?

No, because she's not ready to listen.

Ron, Marta didn't put me on her team.

And she's not inviting me
to her training camp.

What? Why?

She's worried I'm not serious enough.

She says I won't listen.

They're always telling me
I don't focus and they're right.

Stop being so hard on yourself.

I just can't believe
I got this close and ruined it.

That's the point, though.

You're almost there.

You can prove Marta wrong.

Get on the team next year.

How?

Everyone who makes the team
goes to her camps

to learn and get better.

Then this is your year to learn
and grow on your own.

Be undeniable.

Okay. Bye.

Hi, Simone!

You didn't make the junior nationals team

but you'll always be our queen.

Taking you to fro yo on Friday
after practice

and making you wear these.

Don't worry, boys like girls
who like dairy.

Now get back to work!

Bye! Bye!

Simone? How did you get in here?

The janitor.

Marta or no Marta, I'm getting
on that team next year.

Well, okay.

Let's do this.

Is this first day of high school chic
or what?

I hate it.

I can't wait to escape
my private school nightmare.

Did you know my history teacher's

been calling me Somalia all semester?

Why didn't you correct him?

I didn't know he was talking to me
until, like, a week ago.

I can't-- I can't look at you.

Please take that off.

The sales lady likes it.

She's just trying to make a sale, Somalia.

Marissa and I have it all planned out.

Not matching outfits.

Matching outfits.

Gross.

It's a month away.

I have to figure out my schedule.

I need more gym time
but Marissa and I are signing up

for basically every club.

Except I gotta get her off
the French train.

That's not for me.
Beret or no beret.

Have you talked to mom and dad
about all these plans?

No, why?

I overheard them talking the other night

and I'd take that shirt off
because you might be sick.

Home school? No way.
Not happening.

We spoke to your school counsellor.

They're not gonna let you miss
as many days

as you need to compete.

I want a boyfriend.

I want to go to football games.

I want a real life.

Other girls do both,
high school and gymnastics.

I can do it.

I understand high school
is one of your dreams,

but so is a gymnastics scholarship.

So that's it?

I get one dream?

Tell me what to do.

Mm-mm.

This has to be your choice.

Dad thinks I should do home school?

Yeah, well your dad has seen
your hands bleed.

He's seen you sacrifice so much.

My life might be completely different

if I go to high school.

Simone, no one will be angry with you.

What would I tell Marissa?

College is only a few years away.

Some dreams aren't lost,
they're just delayed.

Mom, if I decide to do home school
who will my teacher be?

You're the worst teacher ever!

I failed all of my classes!

Simone, calm down.
We'll figure this out.

I don't know how this is possible.

I was doing all my work
at night after practice.

I did every assignment.

Well, it looks like you were
supposed to be in class online

at a certain time.

If she had to be in class
at a specific time

she'd have stayed in regular school.

Ron, we appreciate all your hard work,

but we're gonna go in a different
direction with this teaching position.

- What?
- You're fired.

Baby, we are gonna find
a new professional tutor

with experience with all of this.

I can't believe I'm missing
high school for this circus.

Uh...

Can't get fired from a job I quit.

You...

Here. Come here.

At least I can buy your happiness
with a treat.

You leaving me too?

Very nice.

I guess.

Alright, come on.
Take a break. I'm starving.

No breaks. I'm here to work.

Is everything okay?

What's up with the friend brigade?

Nothing. Marissa and Becca are busy
with school and I'm busy with this.

It's all about balance.

Hanging out with my friends

isn't gonna get me a spot
on the national team.

Ignore her, Aimee.
She's been acting like this for weeks.

Can we just go again?

Ladies and Gentlemen,
welcome to the 2012

VISA Championships National Competition.

Nice. That was it. Very clean.

This year the national team
is selecting six athletes

to join the junior division.

Six? They took 13 last year.

We knew it would be less because
the senior team is so big.

You worked hard. Trust it.

One, Lexie Priessman.

Two, Madison Desch.

Three, Bailie Key.

Four, Katelyn Ohashi.

Five, Amelia Hundley.

And six, Simone Biles.

- I'm so proud of you!
- We did it.

Just us.

Now we can begin, yes?

I'm ready to listen.

I know.

Get up there.

Simone!

Congratulations!
You made the team!

Thanks!

You look like a human pep rally.

Thanks.
I'm going to a football game.

Are we pretending there isn't
a cute boy in that car?

Yes, I'm playing it cool.

I don't know if it's a thing.

Wait, was there something
we were supposed to do today?

Not really.
We usually just, you know...

Fro yo Friday. I'm so sorry.

It's totally fine.

I was actually gonna tell you
I couldn't make it tonight.

I need to squeeze in some extra practice.

Oh, uh... okay, then.

Yeah.

Hey, wouldn't it be funny if you got on

the junior national team
and I start dating a junior?

So funny.

I'll text you later.
Don't work too hard.

It's Friday night.

Live a little.

You're late.

Yep.

I think you meant to say
"I'm sorry, Aimee.

"I stopped to save a monkey
from a burning building.

- "Won't happen again. Here's a cupcake."
- Why would a monkey--

Okay, I can see that
there are no cupcakes to be had today.

Let's just start with ten beam routines.

Ten? No. That's too many.

You'll do ten and if you miss
a connection you start again.

Good. Point the T's.

Missed a connection. Start over.

Nope, from the top.

My connections are fine.

Maybe you need to get a little closer!

Maybe you need to add
five routines to your program.

I don't care, add them.

You told Marta you were ready
to be on the National team.

I am. I'm fine.

No, you're not fine.

I know that when you stop
texting and tweeting

there's a problem.

You can't interpret my whole life

by how much I'm texting.

I've known you since you were six.

Can I interpret from that?

Okay. What's my problem?

You gave up high school for this.

And sometimes you're not sure
it was worth it.

I understand those feelings.

The regret, the loneliness.
I know you love it.

But it's complicated.

You're wrong.
I just don't feel well.

I knew I'd find you here
at the high school.

Aimee was right.

I'm a junior national team member.

How am I supposed to win
when I can't make it through

one beam routine
without missing a connection?

I think Aimee's more concerned about

your mental state than you winning.

That's fine, but I need to find a way

to be more consistent
or it's all for nothing.

My friends get to go to school here

and go out on Friday nights,

but I have to train so it needs
to mean something.

What you do does mean something
whether you win or lose.

So what're you saying?

You'd be happy if I got fourth?

Fourth, first, fourteenth...

just be the best Simone you can be.

Whatever the outcome is, we'll take it.

Winning doesn't matter to us.

It matters to me.

And if you had given up
everything for your dream

it would matter to you, too.

You know, it's a huge honor

that Marta chose you
as their first team assignment.

I don't understand why
the towels here are so small.

That's because the full
size towels are up there

but you were too short to see them.

I'm really nervous.

Don't be nervous. It's just like practice.

That's what I'm afraid of.

The 2013 AT&T American Cup,

a crucial event in women's gymnastics.

This is a chance for National team members

to represent the USA.

Simone Biles debut.

She looks a little anxious.

We spoke to her coaches

who said that Simone is getting used to

this new level of intense training.

Oh and that fall is going to cost her.

And here we have
Simone Biles at the 2013...

Did she get enough sleep?

She's gonna be fine, dad.

Her confidence hasn't really
had a chance to rebound

since she fell off that beam
at that AT&T competition.

She hasn't been herself.

Stop being negative.

I'm not being negative,
I'm being paranoid.

What?

I don't know.

Simone Biles,
wobbling a bit there.

- She's got to focus.
- I know.

They really need to
maintain their focus.

Ohhh.

Oh, that's heartbreaking.

Yeah, it's going to cost her.

This level of pressure
could rattle anyone.

These are young athletes out there.

Let's go! You got this!

Come on, Simone.

Ah! A little misstep there.

Simone is a fighter,
she's powering through--

Ouch! She came down short there.

Looks like her ankle maybe.

This is what I was worried about.

It's okay.

You can't pull me from my final event.

You're not focused!
You could get hurt.

You're done.

The problem is not your body,
it's your mind.

We don't want to beat you up.

Go ahead.

Stop with this pity.

You brought this on yourself.

This is what happens
when you're not 100% focused

and trained and ready to do
what you need to do.

I let you down.

I'm sorry. I'll try harder.

You're not doing this for us.

You must do this for yourself.

We all know this girl has power.

She just needs discipline.

I don't want this to get into her head.

That's already happened.

I hear you're hesitant about meeting
with a mental training coach.

I'm not crazy.

Oh, I know. Of course.

I just wanted you to know
that I'm part of your team.

Me, Aimee, your family.

We all just want you to succeed.

But you have to let us in.

You're a fierce competitor.

I'm not as good as the other girls.

Are those other girls
really better than you?

Or are you just afraid
that they're better than you?

Same thing.

No, actually, it's not.

I just want people to be proud of me.

But I feel like I always let them down.

What do you love to do?

I love to have fun.

And were you having fun
at the Secret Classic?

No. I was worried about
what everyone was thinking.

Why change what's always worked for you?

Make it fun again.

Okay.

We must train her body
to override her mind.

More practice, more physio
means more body memory.

Okay. Should I start on beam?

Yeah. But first I would like to discuss

increasing the difficulty of your routine.

Other people,
they win by fraction of point.

You can make whole point. Maybe more.

How difficult are we talking?

Own up to your talent.

I don't know what that means.

You can do things that
no other gymnast can.

I know you can.

I've seen you do it.

Rise, my dear.

Now, let us begin.

I think I need to protect
my ankle a little.

I'm still favoring it.

How about a double layout half?

It's a tricky blind forward landing.

That might work.

Or I could face plant and
you'll die laughing so win-win?

Yeah.

Hey!

Hey. You wanna do some
conditioning with me later?

Seriously?

You're always saying I slow you down.

Nah, you keep me honest.

People are noticing
Simone's new attitude and consistency.

Says here you have a new nickname.

They calling you "the robot".

Seriously?
She cries watching Pretty Little Liars.

If I was them I'd find a new robot.

♪ We go around, and around
and around, and around ♪

♪ And around, and around and back again ♪

♪ We go around, and around
and around, and around ♪

♪ And around, and around and back again ♪

♪ In circles ♪♪

How often does she complete this?

Roughly 80% of the time.

That sounds like good odds.

She's still favoring her ankle
but she can do it.

You complete this move
at the World Championship

and they'll name it after you.

The Biles? That's so cool!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So cool.

Less bouncing, more training.

81%, baby!

That's not how percentages work.

Just a few months ago,

Simone Biles struggled in competition.

But here we have a completely
different gymnast.

Look at that confidence!

Her skill level is so high here.

Phenomenal skills.

This isn't a good routine,
this is a great one.

Simone Biles is,
without a doubt,

the best gymnast in the world.

Yes!

Oh, come here.

Well done, Aimee.

Thank you.

- Woo!
- Nice.

Yeah. Yeah.

How does it feel to be
the best gymnast in the world?

It feels... overwhelming.

But I couldn't have done it
without Aimee and the gym.

- Are you ready to be next?
- Yeah.

What's going on?

Coach Aimee just quit the gym.

Thank you.

Simone was very upset
about the way you left.

You can't abandon her like that.

I know, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking.

- Is she okay?
- You didn't plan this?

Walking out never seemed
like a reasonable option.

It still doesn't.

But there were some big problems--

Ah-ah-ah. I've been running
businesses all my life.

I do not get involved in office politics.

The point is I want Simone
and Adria to come with me

wherever I land.

Okay, where exactly would that be?

I don't know, but I'm gonna find
a good place.

I want Simone to keep her momentum.

Well, I think I might know the place.

Thank you.

Hello, dear.

You know how we discussed
selling the nursing homes?

Well, I think we should consider
taking the proceeds

and buying an investment property.

Uh, okay. Can we talk about that
when I get home?

I found some land.

I can barely hear you.

I found an investment opportunity!

I'll take a look at it
when I get home on Monday.

We gotta act fast, Ron.

Um... okay, I mean,

if you feel good about it
then I guess, you know...

Great. Great.

We break ground before winter.

What?

It's gonna be a beautiful gym, Ron.

I can't hear you.

It sounds like you said
we're building a gym?

Yeah, you're breaking up.
Okay, you're gonna love it.

We'll see you on Monday. Bye.

Nellie? Hello?

And nobody is to say anything
to anybody especially Simone.

- We have taken the--
- I'm not saying anything.

Oh, hey. Good morning, baby.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hi, sweetheart.

- Can I have this juice?
- It's dad's.

He doesn't need it. It's your juice.

Okay, why is everyone being so weird?

- Nothing.
- Someone just being a bad sport online.

Ron.

Carlotta Ferlito had herself
a big old tweet storm last night.

- Didn't I just say--
- The Italian gymnast?

I don't want you to concern
yourself with this drama.

Now I gotta see.

She basically said
if the Italian team wanted

to win next year they should
paint their skin black.

Don't get roped into
this race stuff, Simone.

Period.

I'm sure she didn't mean it.

She's probably just disappointed.

Don't let this take away

from you enjoying
your success at Worlds. Okay?

Not at all.

I mostly feel bad for her.

I mean, one bad day
and suddenly it's a huge deal?

It's crazy how fast the talk shifts.

First, you're not living up
to your potential at meets,

then you do and now
you're ruining the sport by being black

and too good?

- Dad!
- What?

Reached for comment this morning,

Ron Biles said "usually it's not
in Simone's favor, being black.

"At least not in the world I live in.

"But she has moved on,

"and she is not fazed by any of this."

That's why I said don't get
roped into this race stuff.

I was speaking from experience.

You're as bad as the kids.

Hand stand hold. Minimum one minute.
Go.

Ooh, something I'm good at.

Don't be a show-off.

- Ahhh!
- Simone!

- Alright.
- Come up.

Thank you.

I appreciate it. We'll let her know.

I don't like that face.

They think you need six months
rehab on your shoulder

and no competitions during that time.

I can't do that.

We'll get an MRI and go from there.

But if the doctor says six months

you will take a full six and that's final.

Now, the next world competition
is not only individual,

there is also team medal.

You will be ready.

That's my point.

If I'm not sharp
I could blow it for everyone.

I need to get back to competing
as soon as possible.

You will be no good to us
if you do not heal properly.

This is great length to go to avoid bars.

Marta, did you just try to make a joke?

Yeah.

This is not like buying nursing homes
and renovating them.

- You're just now figuring that out?
- Ron--

All I do all day
is answer the phone calls

and camp in front of offices
for building permits.

I'm a permit stalker.

We are hemorrhaging money.

This is not relaxing.

This is not some little
investment opportunity

to keep us afloat.

- What were you thinking?
- What was I thinking?

What were you thinking?
You agreed.

Yeah, under duress.

The girls will be grown soon.

Wouldn't you miss being involved
in gymnastics?

This is empty nesting.

No. No.

This is for us.

I just didn't know how hard
it would be, that's--

Well, we can't walk away now.

Everything we have
is in this training center.

And then we got Simone upset
about training in that gymnasium.

- Honey. Honey.
- It's just--

It's temporary.

I know you're not asleep.

Mothers know how their children breathe.

That's creepy.

Come here.

Okay, so I misjudged

how stressful this was gonna
be for all of us.

Everything feels so out of control lately.

Getting that team medal is more important
to you than getting individual.

But I'm just anxious.

Why?

I don't wanna let my team down.

You won't.

You and your shoulder
will be just fine for China.

And then what?

People are already asking me

if I can win at Worlds
two more times before Rio.

I don't know what I'm having
for breakfast tomorrow,

so being confident about
a three-peat is a stretch.

Breathe.

Breathe.

You can do anything you put your mind to.

I have something for you.

That is Saint Sebastian.
Patron saint of athletes.

Ooh, girl, this is a walk
of faith that we are on.

To open up that center
and to get you to Worlds safely.

I thought I could do anything
I put my mind to.

You can.

But let's be honest,
we need all the help we can get.

2014 World Artistic
Gymnastic Championships,

held in Nanning.

Here comes Simone Biles,
a perfect Amanar.

Already a two-time
World Champion,

here at the Worlds in Glasgow Scotland.

You think she'll make it
a three-peat before the Olympics?

She is doing the impossible.

Yes, she is the three-time World Champion.

We'll see her next at the Olympic trials.

Girl, you can't be late to your own
World Championship party.

People need to see that dress.

I'll be right there.

It's just been so non-stop
since I got home

and now with trials...
it's just like...

Hey, I get it.

I will try to keep mom and dad busy

but you know they got that
new find my iPhone app

and privacy is a thing of the past.

See you out there, sis.

We did it.

Girl, you need to get off your phone.

What?

I'm gonna let you run
into that bench next time.

Or fall into a pit of quicksand
or a raging volcano...

Where am I gonna be with
so many natural disasters?

Alright. Let me stop you right there.

Today is not the Simone show.

It's the Adria show.

And today's episode?

I need a dress for homecoming.

I always wanted to go to a school dance.

I told you, you can be my date.

Because that's not weird.

It's fine. I have an overnight
at UCLA in a few weeks.

It's her!

And I already have my outfits
all picked out.

Girl, you and your pre-planned outfits.

Thanks!

What was that about?

Uh, you're a three-time
gymnastics world champion.

You're kind of a big deal.

I know.
I just wanted to hear you say it.

Dork!

Pretty sure those kids
thought you were Gaby Douglas!

One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight!

U-C-L-A!

U-C-L-A fight, fight, fight!

I'm so lucky Aimee doesn't
believe in starvation.

No diets?

No, she's all about eating good food
to give you good fuel.

I had a coach that put me on
a cabbage soup diet

and I still poop weird.

Stop flirting.
Come on.

Are we weird?

No, why?

Did someone say something?

No, it's just the pressure,
long hours of practice.

Sometimes I feel like everyone
is experiencing real life

and I'm not.

I'm sure every athlete who starts out
as a kid feels that way.

I still feel like a kid.

Like, I know the best place
to shop for leos

but I have no idea how to talk to a boy.

That's why I'm all about college.

- It feels like...
- Freedom!

Yes! Cheers!

Attention, attention.

I've decided to commit to UCLA!

Oh my God, congratulations!

Thanks. It'll give me something
to look forward to after the Olympics.

Heck, yeah, that is so cool.

What?

While you were gone some
possible sponsors called.

Oh my gosh, that's great!

Remember when we took photos next to

the Nastia Liukin cereal box
when we were kids?

Your face could actually be
on one someday!

The thing is, you can't take
any sponsorship deals

if you want to compete and represent UCLA.

Yes, it's against NCAA rules.

It'll make you ineligible
for college athletics.

Can't I compete in college
and then sign with sponsors

after the Olympics?

It doesn't mean there won't be any offers

but that's the chance you're taking.

And you have been working towards
this dream for so long, Simone.

But I also know how important
college is to you.

You can't have sponsors
and get a college scholarship, baby.

You have to choose one.

I can't believe this is happening again.

Hey. Adria called me.

She does that.

Look, you're choosing
from two really great options.

What would you do?

Well, let's see.

College, or the chance
to travel the world,

support your favorite charities,

see your face on a cereal box?

Yes.

I'd ride that party train
all the way to the Olympics.

No question.

I know I'm lucky.

It must look crazy from the outside.

I own 12 pairs of the same shoes.

Crazy is relative.

I get why they want me to sign now.

But male gymnasts peak in their '20s.

They can do college
and get sponsorships after,

while we peak in high school.

It's not fair.

Do you love it?

As much as you did when we were kids?

- More.
- Okay.

I love it more. I'm just scared.

What happens after the Olympics?

If I put all my hopes and dreams
in one place?

You're a senior in high school.

I bet you're not the only one
who's scared about that.

- You're right.
- Yeah.

I hate it when you're right.

Look, I have no idea
what the future holds.

No one does, but that's the fun in it.

Right?

- Oh, oh really?
- Yep.

Okay, let's do this.

I'm just calling to tell you
that I decided to go pro.

You did?

It was such a hard decision.

Well, maybe I can still go
to school there someday.

Not to compete but, you know,
I always wanted to be a Bruin.

Thanks. Bye.

Look at this.

"Simone Biles hasn't lost
a meet in three years

"and is set to win Olympic gold.

"Will her good luck run out?

" Or will she fall apart in Rio?"

Does that bother you?

They just trying to get clicks online.

You just focus on the Olympic trials.

I don't like the idea
that people are rooting for me to fail.

There'll always be people
who try to tear you down.

Focus on good people,

'cause there's a whole lot of us
who believe in you.

Maybe they're on to something.

Because from where I'm sitting,
look like you've fallen apart.

How are those dad jeans treating you?

Dad jeans.

Ow. You only got me
because I can't run away!

We are here at the trials.

The gymnast with the highest score here

automatically goes to the Rio Olympics.

Simone Biles
is the favorite to win that spot.

Simone, had a little bit
of trouble on this skill, day 1,

adrenaline getting the best of her.

But not today,
she looks great.

This next move
is a fairly new skill for Biles.

Oh! Wow, no!

Oh, and that's disappointing

especially giving her consistency lately.

Her difficulty levels
are off the charts

on her other routines
were almost flawless.

But these gymnasts
don't need anything to rattle them

before an Olympics.

The gymnast with
the highest all-around score

automatically goes to the Rio Olympics.

- I don't know what happened.
- You're okay.

Even with her fall,
Simone scored higher than her competition

by a full two points.

Simone Biles
has the top score today!

And she is going to the Olympics!

The painters are nearly finished
with the classrooms for home schools.

Good.

- Café is done.
- Check.

And the observation deck
is almost done, also.

Well, we thought of everything.

Except I wasn't sure we could afford it.

Me either.

Hey, you think it's big enough?

- The gym?
- No. Ron, the sign.

It could be bigger.

- That's our girl.
- Yeah, that's our Olympian.

- Did you ever think--
- Yes. Yes, I did.

What was that for?

For always seeing what I can't see.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...

this is Thursday.

This level of organization is not normal.

Adria, go.

Okay, honey.
So what are your goals for Rio?

Don't worry about me at the Olympics.

What you need to worry about
is who's gonna flat iron

that hair when I'm gone?

Oh, you are such a brat.

I can't believe you.

- Who is gonna do it?
- I don't know.

Hello, Olympic headquarters.

Dad.

Shanon? Is everything okay?

Yeah, uh... really good.

Actually I'm taking care of seniors

at this assisted living place.

I'm pretty good at it.

I bet.

Can't wait to see Simone on TV.
You all must be so excited.

Heading all the way to Brazil.

Nellie needs another plane
just for her luggage,

I swear.

Dad...

I wanted to say...

I know I didn't handle it well.

The adoption and everything.

But I saw something today

and it reminded me of how lucky I am

to have you and Nellie in my life.

In my kids' lives.

Thank you for taking care
of them when I couldn't.

I wasn't sure I'd ever say that.

The girls have been a gift to me.

All my children are a gift.

You want to talk to the girls?

Yeah, if they're around.

Simone?

- Hey.
- Hello Miss Olympian.

You all packed and ready to go?

Almost.

Did Ashley and Tevin tell you I'm uh...

having a big screening party
to cheer you on?

They didn't.

That's-- that's really nice.

Um, give Ashley and Tevin
big hugs for me, okay?

I will.

I'm very proud of you, Simone.

Thanks, Shanon.

Hello?

Hi, Shanon.

Hey. What was that for?

It's for everything, mom.

- For everything.
- Oh.

Hey, Aly, I've been thinking
about the team names

- like you asked us to.
- And?

Gloria and I are leaning
towards The Cinnabuns,

because we want a pastry sponsor.

Very funny.

I always wanted to wear matching clothes

with my friends in school.

At least you got the matching
clothes part.

I got it all.

It's crazy how some decisions feel like
the end of the world

but in the end they're really
the best decisions of your life.

You got that pre-Olympic glow.

But seriously, I've been thinking...

what if we called ourselves
The Final Five?

For Marta. Is that dumb?

No. I love it.

We'll run it past the girls
in the morning, but I love it.

All this laundry, Lord... oh, baby.

What is this?

- What?
- Oh, Lord.

I just ordered some gym merch.

For the center. How do I look?

What's the matter? Everything okay?

It sure is.

We all talked about it.

And we've decided on a name for our team.

We're calling ourselves The Final Five.

We know you're retiring.

But you'll always be our leader.
Our Marta.

And you, you will always be my final five.

You mean the world to us.

You pushed us harder than anyone,

and look where we are.

I am not this person by nature.

I'm not a sentimental person.
I mean, what's wrong with me?

You got Simone-d!

Listen to all those people.

I'm trying not to.

Just think. When this is over

you can take so many naps.

Shut up.

I'm kidding.

I'm nervous, too.

Just like practice, right?

Right.

Today we're a family.

There will be good times and tough times,
