Courage, Comebacks, and Changing the Game

For the first time in Australia, and exclusively for Ready25, Simone Biles will share her story in an intimate Q&A with journalist and former Australian Olympian, Giaan Rooney.

Join Simone as she speaks of the unforgettable highs that cemented her legacy as the Greatest Gymnast of All Time and the profound lows that tested her mentally and physically.

Discover the pivotal moments, the relentless dedication, and how the world reacted to her achieving what had been thought impossible – until she did it.

But how has Simone continuously pushed boundaries, adapted, and evolved in a sport that demands perfection? And how does she continue to navigate the immense pressures of being a global superstar in sport?

Beyond the medals and the record-breaking performances, Simone will share the invaluable lessons she has learnt throughout her career and open up about her courageous decision to prioritise her mental health on a global stage at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics – a moment that resonated across the world and forever changed the narrative about mental health in sports.

Learn how she stayed true to herself, put her wellbeing first, and built an unshakeable support system, only to come back stronger, winning 3 gold and 1 silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Her story is one of resilience, authenticity, and the profound power of self-care.
