Following Hiccups at Home, Simone Biles Finds Comfort in Gymnastic Dream

Simone Biles had established herself as the gymnastic GOAT when she tied herself with Shannon Miller, both having the most Olympic medals by a US gymnast. Moreover, she is the only gymnast to have won the most Gymnastics World Championships medals. Having said so, the legend who’s cognizant of her athletic prowess deserves a chance to show off her wins.

Training under Cecile and Laurent Landi at the World Champions Centre has been a boon to the 26-year-old. Owing to that, her Worlds and Pan-American record-breaking performances led to back-to-back podium finishes. It’s no surprise that the most decorated gymnast will have a wall adorning her myriad medals. In the same vein, a recent post by Biles is shining.

Simone Biles takes pride in her medals

According to her Instagram story, the 26-year-old Olympian with 30 medals across Worlds and Olympics had taken a video of her possessions. Captioned the video as “WCC Artistic & T&T medals, worlds and pan ams.” Through the years, she has clinched only accolades despite ‘twisties’ and mental setbacks.

Recently, at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, she walked home with her 6th all-around World’s title. The famous line struck a chord when she said, “I’m not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps–I’m the first Simone Biles,” after her displays at the 2016 Rio Olympics. All of her 4 Olympic gold medals came from the Brazilian city. Though she didn’t compete in 2017, her comeback at the 2018 National Championships rewarded her with golds in all the events. Similarly, her comeback in 2023 after a two-year hiatus saw the legend maintain the winning streak.

But, as the 26-year-old seeks comfort in her gymnastic medals, her home situation looks a little wobbly. Her dream house has painted walls now, but Simone Biles isn’t a good supervisor, it seems. On the other hand, her male pups are engrossed in pee wars. Keeping aside everything, her 2023 gymnastic season has been magical.

Biles’ 2023 World Championships comeback

Clinching her 29th and 30th WC medals, Biles’ Antwerp journey came a full circle. Though she previously prioritized her mental health, her recent comments were “I had to prove to myself that I could still get out here, twist, I could prove all the haters wrong, that I’m not a quitter, this, that, the other.”

Further on, she added, “I didn’t care as long as I’m out there twisting again, having fun and finding the joy for gymnastics again. Who cares?” She ended her 2023 athletic season with a clean balance beam and the floor gold.
