The year just keeps on fulfilling the wishful dreams for Simone Biles. The 26-year-old gymnastics GOAT had put a halt to her professional pace during the last two years. Even after she withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics finals in 2021 her records stayed intact. Simone’s life is only starting to get better now, away from her career as a pro athlete who has been in the sporting limelight since she was a teen. A lot has been going on with her improved mental health, marriage to Jonathan Owens, becoming an aunt, as well as an exceptional returner.

The world had been anticipating her return for what seemed like an eternity and finally came with the great news of her flawless scores. The entire time she was absent from the gymnastics scene, Simone was more active than ever in engaging with her followers on social media. And just when the internet soaked up the news of her triumphant comeback, something completely unexpected unfolded.

Simone Biles finds her inspiration standing next to her

The story dates back to April 23, 2015, when Simone retweeted a Twitter post of a little girl performing a flawless single twist in midair. This was around the same time when the gymnast was nominated for the James E. Sullivan Award. Biles wrote the sweetest caption on the video being “in awe” of her skills. And despite her all-around win at the City of Jesolo Trophy a few weeks back, Simone wished to learn “a thing or two” from the girl.

It was just the start of Biles’ legacy, and over time, she emerged as the epitome of excellence. Likewise, her eight-year-old gymnastics idol followed in her footsteps. Spoiler alert: You might need time to process this. Recently, a Tweet was posted by @InsideGym from the day of Biles’s win at the U.S. Classics where she met Joscelyn Roberson, the young girl from the video!  A comment on the post simply explained the wholesome situation, as one wrote, “Talk about a full circle moment.”

The turn of events has simply been remarkable and so has their mutual gymnastics record. Just like how Biles’ biggest competition over the years could not restrict her from scoring a perfect 59.100! The same hard rule had carved Roberson cementing her name alongside Biles as a fellow World Champions Centre club member.

Her professional record is nothing short of spectacular whilst she kept Simone’s knowledge of her a closely guarded secret. Last few years, she built up her standing as a promising senior elite gymnast.

The USA national gymnastics team has included Texas-born Roberson since 2021. At the senior international elite level, she began participating in senior women’s artistic gymnastics competitions the same year. In the Winter Cup competition in 2021, she finished second in the all-around, first on the balancing beam, and third on the floor exercise. Next year she turned a senior and took part in the U.S. Classic and National Championship earning a silver medal in both vault events.

In 2023, Roberson rose to prominence with her all-around gymnastics participation, earning five gold medals so far. Her abilities on the balancing beam are well-known, and she has had success there. Up next, both gymnasts are lined up for the upcoming 2024 Gymnastics which will take place in less than a year.
