I’ll just pray normally to myself, but I have it there in case.”  Biles was born in Ohio her mother was battling drug and alcohol abuse and therefore at three she was taken away from her mother. Her grandparents in Texas adopted Biles and her younger sister. Biles calls her grandparents “mom and dad.”  At the age of 6, Biles started gymnastics.
