Watching Simone Biles’ documentary series on Netflix is an absolute must before thinking you understand the pressure behind the Olympic Games.
Paris, France is the host for this four-year cycle national competition at the highest level.
Athletes start training for the next trials as soon as they touch the wall, land, or win their last event or game.
Biles, a bulldozer for the United States Gymnastics team, is now the most decorated team member for the country.
Nothing quite makes you feel as patriotic as the Olympics and the stories that form extraordinary humans!
Dealing with severe internal struggles that doubled with the world’s external struggles, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics did not exactly work in the gymnast’s favor.
She mentioned the ghost-like environment within the gym; her family even tuned in and cheered from a screen.
Withdrawing from multiple events is labeled as Simone’s “bravest act”, yet the twenty-seven year old has a whopping five skills named after her.

Nathan Chen, three-time world figure skater, publicly thanked Simone Biles and Serena Williams for leading the pack after his personal spiral in 2018.
For those wondering what skills are named after the best gymnast of all time: The Biles (Floor), The Biles (Vault), The Biles II (Floor), The Biles (Beam), and The Biles II (Vault).
An insane competitor and teammate of hers, Jordan Chile, put it the best after earning a silver medal: “This medal is definitely for her, because if it wasn’t if it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t be here where we are right now.”
She is not shy on TikTok nowadays, her and her teammates alike. The USA Gym and her personal account are rightfully-so taking over everyone’s for you page.
Bile and Sunisa Lee, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, riled up the team to act out the crunching sound after striking gold in the women’s all-around gymnastics final.
Life is good when you are Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Jade Carey, and Sunisa Lee.
“Olympic champions forever,” Lee writes to Instagram in her emotional recap.
