Simone Biles’ arsenal is pretty deep. With 30 Olympic and World Championships golds under her belt, the Texan packs heavy when it comes to having jaw-dropping routines. Add to the mix the fact that she has five routines named after herself, and you’d get a vague idea of just how good Biles is! One of the greatest Olympian gymnasts of all time, she is a once-in-a-century talent. And yet, even she is prone to being biased to her favorite moves.
When you look at someone like Simone’s career, you’d be certain that they harbor an intense passion for what she does. Week after week, she executes her routines flawlessly. But some of those skills probably bring a broader smile to her face than the others.
Simone Biles isn’t devoid of being partial
NFL’s defensive lineman Cam Heyward recently caught up with the 7x Olympic champ to talk about how things have been going with the Gold Over America Tour. During their conversation, uploaded to YouTube as an episode of Not Just Football with Cam Heyward on October 2, Biles also had to answer some questions from her fans.
Heyward revealed that he would be catching the gymnast and her posse later that day at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. But he swiftly caught an elated Biles off-guard and posed her with a question his daughter told her to ask the Olympian about the latter’s favorite move. There, Biles confessed that there’s just something about the floor exercise that makes her want to do it on repeat.
“…My favorite event, floor. Because I just love to tumble,” said the 27-year-old with a grin, and she had her reason too. “It’s just something that most people cannot do with the human body and I think that’s what makes us so cool,” she elaborated during the conversation with Heyward. But Biles couldn’t just keep her namesake moves out of her mouth for too long. “…the Biles I on floor which is the very first skill I got named after me,” she said with a glimmer in her eyes. Perhaps, little Khloe got to ask the answer again later that night when she went to watch the gymnast in action. But considering how things have been so far in the event, we wouldn’t be too surprised if Biles’ little fan walked away from the Gold Over America Tour with a new favorite.
The GOAT touring with the GOAT squad
The GOAT returned after three long years. The pop-styled gymnastics tour will travel across the length and breadth of the country to bring action-packed shows to fans of all ages to bring more exposure to the sport and possibly find the next generation to carry the torch forward. Biles will be joined by her national teammates Joscelyn Roberson, Jade Carey, Brody Malone, Paul Juda, and more. Simone’s BFF Jordan Chiles will also be part of the performing roster, and it seems like the Gold Over America Tour has been a welcome change of scenery for the UCLA star as she tries to put her own Olympic misfortune in the rearview mirror.
The gymnasts will hit Philadelphia on October 4, and fans hope to see Biles & Co. do what they do best again. Have you been to any of these spectacular shows?
