Simone Biles has performed several twists and turns to be named the most decorated gymnast of all time, and her family celebrated her victorious milestones with dinner on the River Seine.
The 27-year-old, who has taken home three gold medals and one silver medal, unfortunately had no time to celebrate with her loved ones due to press commitments, according to her mother, Nellie Biles. She spoke with People on Sunday, August 4, the time they really get to speak to Simone is when they “FaceTime and chat pretty much on a daily basis.”
For the greatest gymnast in U.S. history, this is being considered her comeback story following her withdrawl from the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games due to suffering from the “twisties.” She noted during the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that this incident really took a toll on her. “If I could’ve got on a plane and flown home, I would’ve done it. But as soon as I landed, I was like, ‘Oh, America hates me, the world is going to hate me, and I can only see what they’re saying on Twitter right now.’ That was my first thought,” she said.
