Hey guys! It's August 2nd, 2024. Today’s news is about Simone Biles. She has just won a gold medal in Paris, in all round gymnastics competition. She is not only famous for her incredible technique, but also for her suffering from a mental illness. She made her comeback last year and shines again in the Olympic.
