contents In this paper, we prove that a Riemannian $n$-manifold $M$ with sectional curvature bounded above by $1$ that contains a minimal $2$-sphere of area $4π$ which has index at least $n-2$ has constant sectional curvature $1$. The proof uses the construction of ancient mean curvature flows that flow out of a minimal submanifold. As a consequence we also prove a rigidity result for the Simon-Smith minimal spheres.
