Is Simone Biles the greatest gymnast of all time, or is there someone who can rival her?

Simone Biles’ Paris Olympics run showed the world why she is considered the greatest in the sport and there’s no one like her. The gymnast won four medals with dominant performances. She was heavily praised for it. After the end of the Olympics, she decided to set out for the Gold Over America tour, whose first edition took place after the Tokyo Olympics. It is a passion project of hers, prompting her to work a lot for it to be successful. And it seems like she has succeeded once again.

Since the tours start in Oceanside, California, both critics and the audience have given it acclaim. One of the things mentioned in those reviews is that children seem to enjoy the show a lot. Many have given accounts of them jumping on their seats with exuberance and excitement during the performance. This now seems to have been proven after a recent Instagram post popped up.

A 9-year-old fan named Ari Capron came onto the Houston show of the Simone Biles Gold Over America Tour dressed in a complete custom outfit filled with faces of the Olympic gold medalist as she posed with the promotional poster of the tour. The girl was a huge fan of the gymnast, and she wore that outfit. She captioned her video with, “Just a little 9-year-old living the dream.” This attracted a lot of attention from Simone Biles fans.

Many showered praise on Ari and told her that she looked really cute in that outfit, and they are obsessed with her. It seemed like the girl had genuinely garnered a lot of love from this. However, she is no ordinary Simone Biles fan. Ari Capron is a young gymnastics sensation! This is why her social media gains so much traction.

She has 19000 followers on her Instagram, and numerous YouTube channels have covered her doing gymnastics. A channel named Whistle made a video with her called, “7-year-old high-flying gymnast wants Olympic gold.” During the video, she talked about how she enjoys winning a lot and wants to eventually win an Olympic medal. Videos like these helped her gain popularity, which is why she has so many followers and interactions on social media. Looking at the comments of her post, Simone Biles fans seem to love her too.

Simone Biles fans left in awe of the 9-year-old gymnast’s outfit on social media

One fan said, “Obsessed.” This seemed to be the sentiment for most of the comments in the post. They seemed enthralled with Ari Caprone’s outfit. However, this is not her first post about Simone Biles.

In fact, she was part of the promotional videos of the Gold Over America Tour involving numerous children. She has met the Olympic gold medalist numerous times and has posted pictures alongside her too. It doesn’t stop there, as she performed with her on stage in the tour, too. Thus, she’s definitely a huge fan.

Another fan wrote, “Oh sis, you ate!!!!” The praise Ari garnered also solidified how strong Simone Biles’ fanbase really is. This is justified too, looking at how great her career has turned out to be.

When she first made her Olympic appearance in Rio, barely anyone would have expected her to reach the heights she has conquered. She has done that while being an inspiration to millions because of her vocal and kind personality. Thus, her fanbase will only grow.

A user said, “Cutie pie!!” Thus, it seems like wearing the Simone Biles outfit. This could have something to do with the gymnast’s affliction with children too. She is inspiring and shaping the next generation of gymnastics through her performances. The biggest example is in her family itself.

Biles’ niece is affectionately called Baby Biles by her fans and is inspired by her aunt. When she was performing in the Paris Olympics, she used to wear her leotard to watch her compete. In fact, Baby Biles has followed in her footsteps and has already joined WCC, the gym owned by her grandparents, to start training. There could be a chance of fans witnessing another generational athlete from the same family.
