    From a rough start in life to the gymnast G.O.A.T. - so far.
    I came across this movie on Lifetime free streaming. As a sports fan in general, and as a close observer living near Houston, I watched this with interest.

    I suppose it is accurate but don't really know. It tells the story of Simone Biles who had a rough start with a mother unable to take care of her. So she was adopted by her grandparents and grew up in the Houston area. She is depicted as a very talented girl with often a bad attitude but her parents stuck with her and encouraged her. She wasn't always the best on the floor at various ages, as I had assumed, but had to work hard, mentored by her dedicated coach from 6 years of age.

    The movie is well made and uses an actress that has a reasonable resemblance to Simone. They also use archive footage of actual competitions, spliced into the movie footage, to give it a mostly real look.

    As history witnesses Simone Biles became multiple world champion and Olympic champion in 2016 Rio. She has a natural athletic ability to jump very high with allows additional time in the air to perform difficult tricks many of her peers cannot. Today, in 2022, she is generally considered the best of all time, through lots of natural talent but more so, lots of hard work.

    Good movie. Roughly 90 minutes long.
