Simone Biles reveals why Adria quit gymnastics

Simone Biles and her twin flame and younger sister, Adria Biles, share a close-knit bond. Adria is often mistaken for her iconic sister, and once humorously shared, “I’m a good head taller than her. When we are side by side, people can definitely tell us apart.” She has always been a supportive sister to Simone, particularly in Simone’s gymnastics career. Adria followed in Simone Biles’ footsteps and began practicing gymnastics at the age of 9. She competed at a high level, reaching Level 9 (junior elite) by 2015.

Adria competed for a decade before retiring from gymnastics in 2016. Simone Biles once opened up to fans, sharing the reason why Adria quit the sport. She shared how her talented sister faced significant pressure and constant comparisons to Simone, which took a toll on her. Simone said, “Whenever she went to competitions like ‘Oh, her sister always wins, she always wins, that’s not fair.’ So she quit.”
