Simone Biles is undoubtedly the GOAT of gymnastics as she clinched two new Olympic medals this year. Simone has seven sparkling Olympic medals, out of which four are gold. Tokyo Olympics 2020 was not her best performance, but she was still the star. Biles showcased to the world a bigger picture than the Olympics, i.e. the mental health of athletes.
Biles had taken some time out from gymnastics, resting and clearing her head. However, she will be back on the mat soon for the Gold Over America tour. Before the tour starts, Biles answered a few questions. The Olympic gymnast revealed who she would like to invite, and apparently, it was a simple choice for Biles.
Simone revealed, “I think that is an easy question. If I could invite anybody to sit in front row at our show, I would definitely invite Michelle Obama.”
At the end of the question-and-answer round, Biles even sent an invitation for the former First Lady of America. “Hi, Michelle Obama, I hope you can come over to the Gold Over America Tour, and see the gold in all of us shine,” said Biles.
