Simone Biles SHOCKING Family Tragedy That CRUSHED Her Olympic Gold!
Welcome back to Sports Dive. When Simone Biles announced that she will withdraw from all single and team gymnastic events in the Olympics, people in the United States were kind of second guessing if the USA gymnastics team can bring more medals.
Sunisa Lee was quick to pull all those worries behind. As she finished with a gold medal in all-around gymnastics. Then a surprising twist came again, Simone Biles renounced her withdrawal and came back to compete for the balance beam and won the bronze medal. In this video, let’s hear about the story regarding Simone Biles winning the bronze medal in a brave Olympics comeback, but the shocking family tragedy changed everything for her.

Even though she’s not in Rio de Janeiro to watch her daughter win Olympic gold from the stands, the biological mother of Simone Biles is bursting with pride – and grateful that she and her daughter have reconciled after being estranged for so much of the gymnast’s young life.
Shanon Biles is watching the 19-year-old athlete compete far from the feverish excitement of the Rio Olympic Arena from the TV in her house in a quiet neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio.
It’s been a difficult road for Shanon, 44, to build a fledgling relationship with her superstar daughter.
Simone was six when she was adopted, along with her younger sister Adria, by her maternal grandfather, Ronald Biles, and his wife Nellie.
Shanon’s eldest boy and girl, Tevin and Ashley, were taken in by Ronald’s sister.
Her family were forced to step in when Shanon could no longer take care of her four children due to her drug and alcohol addictions. They had spent their early years in and out of foster care in Ohio.
