According to the Associated Press, The "Black Pearl" Byers, who won four gold and one bronze in the women's gymnastics competition at the Rio Olympics, defeated many opponents such as swimming genius Ledecky and tennis superstar Serena Williams to win the 2016 American Best Female Athlete Award. However, this dazzling "black pearl" has an unknown tragic life.

Biles won four gold medals in women's team, all-around, vaulting and free gymnastics at this year's Rio Olympics, and she also won a bronze medal in the highly skilled balance beam competition. Of all 59 votes, Byers received 31 votes and was named America's Best Female Athlete of the Year. Ledecky, a 19-year-old talent who won four golds and one silver in the Rio Olympics swimming competition, received 20 votes. This year's Wimbledon women's singles champion, Equal Graf's 22 Grand Slam world record, received 4 votes. Three-time NCAA Female Athlete of the Year, Brianna Stewart, also received only 4 votes. It is worth mentioning that Byers also became the fifth gymnast to win the honor (1972 – Olga Kolboute, 1976 – Komanech, 1984 – Mary Lou Layton, 2012 – Douglas).

The "Black Pearl", which is particularly dazzling on the gymnastics field, has a tragic life like that only appears in movies. Born on March 14, 1997, Beales was left unattended by her birth mother and her siblings due to drug and alcohol abuse, and her life was miserable, and it was her kind grandparents who adopted them.

Byers also has a deep affection for his grandmother Nari, because her grandmother is the adoptive mother of Byers' biological mother, and after the adoption, her grandmother actually became her adoptive mother, Byers decided to call Nari "Mom", Biles once recalled, "I ran upstairs and practiced calling Daddy and Mommy in the mirror." Then downstairs to the kitchen, Byers plucked up enough courage to shout "Mom," and Nari naturally responded, "Yes." ”

Nari also played the most important role in Byers' path to success, and before becoming famous in 2013, Byers was very demanding of herself, And Nari looked at it with pain in her eyes and told Byers, "You know what? Just play to be the best version of yourself, you don't need to compete with other people. This sentence became a good medicine for Byers to regulate his psychology, she said, "I am lucky to have this pair of parents, they accompany me, encourage me, no matter how good or bad they behave that day, they can throw themselves into their arms, because they all love me equally." ”

Byers' birth mother, who began making an appearance after her daughter became famous, said in an interview that she was very proud of her daughter and was working to rebuild and repair the mother-daughter relationship, and said she would no longer be contaminated with alcohol and drugs and set a good example for her children. But in the heart of "Black Pearl", Nari will always be the most important kiss of the "mother".
