Simone Biles recently re-tweeted about her wonderful friendship in the most serendipitous way. The image showed a young Biles and Zoe Miller wearing hats and pouting. Simone Biles and Zoe Miller look adorable in the picture, which was a major throwback, with Biles appearing to be very young and Miller looking like a young child barely in her teens.

Adding her own touch of nostalgia to the post previously posted by Miller Biles wrote, “Throwback, we were such babies, lol.” However, there is more significance to this picture than first meets the eye; it relates to their unique bond and the humorous wager they made.

Let’s talk about that $200 wager while we’re talking about bets. It all began when Biles pushed Zoe Miller to take a risk during the 2023 Core Hydration Classic and do a twerk. Zoe Miller being the carefree person she is took the challenge and whimsically did the move just after her epic dismount from the balance beam at the event. This resulted in Simone Biles becoming 200 dollars poorer. However, many might not have known this, but their friendship goes back a long way.
