Not Just World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, Simone Biles Has Three Other Reasons To?Visit?Belgium

Simone Biles and the US team have already set foot in Antwerp for the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Starting from the 30th, it will be an action-packed display of finesse and precision. Apart from the on-mat performance of the gymnasts, curiosity about their off-mat activities during an event is ever-present. And from someone like Biles, the world has a lot to hear about Belgium.

Antwerp is the place from where the gymnastics career of Simone Biles had kicked off. In the 2013 event, she bagged her first all-around gold and started her journey as a considerable force in the gymnastics world. It did not take her long to walk down memory shortly after landing in Antwerp. However, as she opened up in an interview, it was not only gymnastics she spoke about.

Belgian love of Simone Biles beyond gymnastics

The 7X Olympic medalist is super stoked to return to her home ground, where her career commenced. Ahead of paying homage to the sacred venue after a decade, Biles unveiled her favorites. Antwerp2023 shared a reel on their Instagram handle, captioned, “What are the 3 things @simonebiles likes about Belgium? What do you like the most?”

Breaking the suspense, Simone finally spoke up. When asked, “What are the three things you like about Antwerp or Belgium in general?” Since she’s an old visited, the 26-year-old could answer within a fraction of a second. She confidently said, “The people, the fries, and the waffles.” Smacking her lips, she clearly asserted her intense love of food. Both the interviewer and interviewee laughed their hearts out, as the message was loud and clear.

Often the diet of Olympic athletes sets the internet abuzz. Especially for the gymnasts who perform such high flips and crisp bar and vault routines, a proper diet is essential. But Simone Biles never shies away from engaging in delectable food.

No diet pressure for Simone

Even though diets vary according to the sport, Simone ensures regular cheat meal inclusion. Considered the greatest gymnast in the world, the 26-year-old includes broccoli, carrots, asparagus, corn, green beans, potatoes and peas. However, she can’t survive without pasta and pizza for dinner. Besides these fuel intakes, Simone saves a decent space for s’mores cookies, her favorite dessert. In fact, she has a fantastic food philosophy. Having already faced the worst of ‘twisties’, she doesn’t want her diet to pressure her. She eats whatever she feels like, refusing to track her food.
