The multi-time Olympic gold medalist and one of the finest gymnasts to ever grace the sport, Simone Biles once shared a hilarious excuse for why her father carried her bags to the airport. However, the reason given by the Olympian seems genuine and makes sense.

Simone Biles is one Olympian that needs no introduction. She’s one of the best in the business and holds a record for winning the highest number of gold medals in gymnastics. In the Rio Olympics, Biles became the first US-based female gymnast to win four gold medals in a single event. She is also the first gymnast to win three consecutive world all-around titles.

Simone Biles gives hilarious reasons for not carrying her bag

Back in 2019, in an interview with Today, a media house, Biles was seen giving hilarious reasons for not carrying her bag to the airport. She said, “My dad always carried my bag to the airport. It was too big for me.”

Biles, who is 4 feet, 8 inches tall, might find it difficult to carry those heavy bags. Though the Olympian has been successfully carrying the name of her country on her back, seeking a helpful hand from her father is not a big ask.

The gymnast has always been vocal about her parents’ support throughout her journey. Biles and her parents have sacrificed a lot; they have been the pillar of her success.
