Despite her young age, Simone Biles has achieved heights that only a few can fathom. We can recall her doing incredible tricks on the vaults, but there’s more to her personality. She is not just the all-serious gymnast, whose only focus is winning titles and golds; much like us, she is a fun-loving, carefree young adult. As much as she is passionate about winning the contest, likewise, she is enthusiastic about enjoying life.

A social bee, the 25-year-old, time and again shares about her life with fans. While sometimes one can spot the diva Biles, sometimes you get to see a carefree Biles, but back in 2014, the fans got to see the ‘prankster Biles.’ Though, she had a good laugh, the same can not be said about her mother.
