Simone Biles was always meant to dominate the mat; everyone around her knew as much too. However, it looks like someone else in the family takes after her too. Enter Ronni Biles, famously known as Baby Biles. The G.O.A.T.’s adorable niece has always had a penchant for the sport from the very beginning. According to her mother, Sammi Biles, the tiny top would mount herself high on the rings in her crib. However, it looks like she might want to follow in her TT’s (as she fondly calls her Auntie Simone) footsteps.
On September 30, Sammi shared an adorable video of Ronni practicing her beam moves in front of the mirror. The beam in question? A piece of tape across their wood flooring, courtesy of Grammi. Simone Biles’ sister-in-law and Ronni’s mother captioned the video, “hahah little miss ronni biles may need a @spiethamerica soft beam here soon 😂 not even 2 yet & loves gymnastics so much 😳😍” The tiny tot admires herself while she imitates the salute, nearly falling on her back.
Ronnie Biles then puts her hand on the floor, promptly (or struggling to) lift her left foot up in the air before she gets back up. All this while Sammi is being supportive, cheering her daughter on. But while Baby Biles attempted the move again, their German Shepherd decided to walk right past her. However, this is where we get to see the toddler’s professionalism. Anyone else would be distracted, but not miss Ronni Biles!
Simone Biles is a natural, and it looks like the toddler might be too. Apart from tumbling and twirling, the tiny tot is a member of WCC, owned by Ronald and Nellie Biles. Sammi shares an image of Ronnie nailing her landing on the ‘beam’ before sharing a few more images and videos of what her career path would be like. Wearing a bedazzled black leotard, Baby Biles can be seen bouncing on a trampoline in one of them.
However, she finally gets to step on an actual beam, while her father, Ron Biles II, guides her across it. Curious as ever, Ronnie looks around as she takes confident strides across it before melting into her father’s arms. Sammi captioned the video, “this is everything💙”. We’re still not over the mini GK Elite loetard. We understand why Baby Biles is enthralled by the sport; she even got to experience it firsthand at the Bercy Arena. What was her experience like?
Simone Biles’ biggest fan cheered her on at the French capital
After a heartbreaking exit from the Tokyo Olympics, the 27-year-old was ready for her Redemption Tour at the Bercy Arena. In 2020, the Olympian couldn’t have her family by her side due to COVID-19 restrictions. But this time around, 17 members cheered her on from the stands, and one of them was Baby Biles. At just over a year and a half old, Ronnie beamed with joy watching her TT perform in front of a full stadium.
Turns out, she was just as ready as Simone Biles & Co. Before they made their way to the stadium, Sammi shared an adorable video of Baby Biles sporting a white GK Elite leotard adorned with blue and red stripes. It was the same as the Final Five! The G.O.A.T.’s sister-in-law excitedly announced, “And now competing for the United States of America…RONNI BILES!” Right on cue, she salutes the audience before falling back down on the pillow.
Sammi also shared heartwarming notes, showcasing her excitement for the team finals. “do it for the little girl inside each of you 🫶🏼 we love & support yall no matter what!!! let’s gooooo 🤍TT @simonebiles, auntie hype queen Jo @jordanchiles, & TEAM 🇺🇸 @usagym we will be cheering loud & proud in Bercy Arena 🏟️🇫🇷.” She even shared her gratitude towards GK Elite for the mini-Leotard replica.
Even though Baby Biles gets to see her Auntie Simone all the time, watching the Olympian in her element must have been exhilarating. Simone Biles took home 4 Olympic medals—3 gold and 1 silver—bringing her tally up to 11 Olympic medals. While we watch the 27-year-old shatter glass ceilings, maybe she could eventually pass that torch down to Ronni Biles.
