Kidney stone torture is quite a common ailment not just in India but also worldwide. And while the pain can be from moderate to unbearable, in most cases, it leaves a person unable to even perform their daily chores.

However, America's champion gymnast Simone Biles did not just perform through pain, she went on to win a gold medal. A day before last week's 48th World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Doha, Qatar, Biles was told by her doctor, after a routine check-up, that the pain in her abdomen was due to the presence of a kidney stone.
