Shanna McCarriston, "U.S. Women's Gymnastics Wins Record-tying fifth Consecutive World Championship as Simone Biles Makes More History" CBS Sports, (2019-10-09)
"The team was led by the now most-decorated female gymnast Simone Biles, who has 15 world championship gold medals with 21 medals total. The Olympian also now has two new moves named after her, one on floor and one on beam, which will be called the "Biles II" and "Biles" respectively, after being the first to ever execute them on an international stage."
(Wikipedia): "In 2012, Biles switched from public school to home schooling and the change allowed her to increase her training from approximately 20 hours a week to 32, which led to her improved success during the 2012 season. Biles spent all her secondary education as a homeschooler and graduated in the summer of 2015. Biles verbally committed to UCLA on August 4, 2014, announcing her decision on Twitter.[18] She planned to defer enrollment until after the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. In November 2014, Biles signed her National Letter of Intent with UCLA.[19] However, on July 29, 2015, she announced that she would turn professional, forfeiting her NCAA eligibility to compete for UCLA.[20] In January 2018, it was announced that Biles had enrolled at the University of the People to study business administration and become the university's brand ambassador."
