All language subtitles for The Simone Biles-Story Courage to Soar-2018

That's me.

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.

[laughs]

What?

[phone rings]

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 ok?

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

And Shannon?

She's unable to care for them
right now.

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

Thank you for taking
care of them.

I knew Shannon 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 Shannon.

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.

[chuckles]

You will not steal my heart,
Miss Simone.

Morning.

Good morning, boss.

Hi, Mrs. Biles.

She's coming.

She's here.

(All): Congratulations!

[applause]

Congrats on your new
little ones, boss.

Oh, thank you.

Your daughter's three kids
are coming to live with you,

is that right?

Shannon 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!

[clapping]

Hey Simone!

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.

(All): 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?

Ok, 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.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

Hey, Ashley. Everything ok?

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 the plan
to get Shannon 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 Shannon
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?

Ok.

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?

Mmmhmm.

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?

The judge feels that it's time

for you to have more of
a permanent home.

Shannon 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

a 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 congratulatios
to the Biles family.

Oh, picture. Picture.

Oh. Everybody smile.

Over there.

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?

[laughs]

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 mould 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.

Mmmhmm.

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!

[laughing]

My little girl is pretty new
to all this.

Awe, bless her heart
for trying.

Ok, 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?

Well, that's your choice,
not mine.

Ready?

Legs together.

Point your toes.

Yep.

Good, that's it.

Focus.

Great.

Ow!

Alright, come on.

You ok?

I think I'm ok.

Here, let's get some water.

Ok.

Are you ready?

I'm not doing that again.

Yes you are.

We're doing this. Come on.

No. You can't make me.

Ok.

I can't.

Yes you can.

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 here knocking
at my doo r ¶

¶

¶ The sound of silence
I can't take anymo re ¶

¶

¶ 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
without your love ¶

¶ No I don't even know
if I'm ali ve ¶

¶ Oh without you no w ¶

¶ This is what it feels lik e ¶

¶

Do you know who that was?

The national team coordinator
for USA Gymnastics.

Marta Karolyi, ok?

She trains all
the best gymnasts.

Mary Lou Retton, Kerri Strug,
Nadia Comanechi?

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!

[laughs]

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 ok
to let me down?

No, it is not ok.

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

We are not your fans.

We are your family.

Mmmhmm.

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.

[chuckles]

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.

Ok. Five, six, seven, eight.

[knocking]

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.

Mmmhmm.

Run by Marta Karolyi.

Mmmhmm.

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

to have a chance.

Ok, 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.

[applause]

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?

[applause]

34... 34...

38! She got 38!

Wooo!

[cheering]

¶ 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?

[bark]

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.

Mmmhmm.

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
focussing 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.

Mmmhmm.

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.

Ok.

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 trainin.

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.

¶ I won't give up. ¶

¶ This is my moment . ¶

¶ I'm on my way now. ¶

¶ This is my one shot . ¶

¶ I'm going to take i t. ¶

¶ Never give up. ¶

¶ Until I'm free. ¶

¶ 'till I'm fr ee. ¶

¶ Oh, oh. ¶

¶ 'till I'm free. ¶

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!

[giggling]

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.

[applause]

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.

[laughs]

This is just how my face is.

Ok, 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.

[laughs] 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 fee 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.

[applause]

¶

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

¶

¶ Feels good . ¶

Nice.

¶ Like I knew it woul d. ¶

¶

¶ Feels good . ¶

¶ Like I knew it woul d. ¶

[applause]

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.

[laughs]

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.

Ok. 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!

[laughs]

Simone? How did you get
in here?

The janitor.

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

Well ok.

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?

[laughs] 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.

[giggling]

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.

Mmm-mmm.

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 ok?

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.

[applause]

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.

[squealing]

[cheering]

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.

[applause]

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... ok, then.

Yeah.

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

the junior national team
and I start dating a junior?

So funny.

[giggles]

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-

Ok, 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?

Ok. 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?

[laughs]

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.

[applause]

This level of pressure
could rattle anyone.

These are young athletes
out there.

Let's go! You got this!

Come on, Simone.

A little mis-step 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 ok.

You can't pull me
from my final event.

You're not focussed!

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 percent focussed

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.

Ok.

We must train her body
to override her mind.

More practice, more physio
means more body memory.

Ok. 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.

[laughs]

Hey!

[laughs]

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".

[laughs]

Seriously? She cries watching
Pretty Little Liars.

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

[laughing]

¶ We go around, and around,

¶ and around, and around
and back aga in. ¶

¶ In circles . ¶

How often does she
complete this?

Roughly 80 percent 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 percent, 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.

[applause]

Yes!

Oh, come here.

Well done, Aimee.

Thank you.

Woo!

Nice.

[applause]

Yeah. Yeah.

[clapping]

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.

[door closes]

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 ok?

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.

Ok, 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.

[phone ringing]

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, ok. 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... ok, 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.

Ok, you're gonna love it.

We'll see you on Monday.

Bye.

Nellie? Hello?

[crowd cheering]

And nobody is to say anything
to anybody especially Simone.

I'm not saying anything.

We have taken the- 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.

Ok, 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. Ok?

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.

[laughs]

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.

[sighs]

Everything we have is
in this training centre.

And then we got Simone upset
about training

in that gymnasium.

Honey.

It's just-

Honey.

It's temporary.

Mothers know how their

That's creepy.

Come here.

Ok, 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 centre 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.

[laughs]

2014 World Artistic Gymnastic
Championships, held

in Nanning.

Here comes Simone Biles,
a perfect Amenar.

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.

[giggling]

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?

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.

[snap]

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!

[cheering] 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.

[laughing]

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.

Ok.

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.

[laughs]

Look, I have no idea
what the future holds.

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

Right?

Oh, oh really?

Yep.

Ok, 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.

[laughs]

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

[applause]

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.

[applause]

I don't know what happened.

You're ok.

Even with her fall,

Simone scored higher
than her competition

by a full two points.

Simone Biles has
the top score today!

She's going to the Olympics!

[cheering]

The painters are nearly finished
with the classrooms

for home schools.

Good.

Café 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.

[laughs]

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.

Ok, 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?

[phone rings]

Oh, you are such a brat.

I can't believe you.

Who is gonna do it?

I don't know.

Hello, Olympic headquarters.

Dad.

Shannon? Is everything ok?

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, ok?

I will.

I'm very proud of you, Simone.

Thanks, Shannon.

Hello?

Hi Shannon.

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.

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?

[laughing]

What's the matter?
Everything ok?

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

[laughing]

[cheers]

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,

sacrifices and successes,

and we will stick together
and support one another

no matter what.

We are honored to be
your mother and father.

[chanting]
USA! USA! USA! USA!

How do you feel about being

I'm not the next Michael Phelps
or Usaine Bolt.

I'm the first Simone Biles.
