"Never seen anything like you"- American singer SZA showers 4-time Olympic champion Simone Biles with love as they discuss gymnastics

Simone Biles met up with Solána Imani Rowe, professionally known as SZA. The American rapper could not resist showcasing her excitement as she showered the four-time Olympic champion with love. Biles will be representing the US for the third record time after impressing at the US Gymnastics trials at the Target Center from Thursday, June 27 to Sunday, June 30.

SZA was impressed by Biles, noting that it was a dream come true to have met the 23-time World Championships gold medallist.

In a video shared by NBC Olympics and Paralympics on X, SZA walks into a room and passionately hugs Biles who is all smiles. She admitted that meeting the two-time Olympian is her wildest dream and has never seen such talent once in her life.

Being a former gymnast, SZA disclosed that she was never ‘as cool as’ Biles, adding that she would love to hang around the 27-year-old more and go to the gym with her more often.

"This is my dream, to talk to you. I was so hyped because you are just like my wildest dream. I was (a gymnast) but was nowhere as cool as you. I just have never seen anything like you…no one has. But it’s just like wow," SZA said.

Simone Biles then asked SZA if she would do a handstand contest, but the American songwriter was hesitant, noting that she was afraid of losing. Biles then convinced her that she would not get hurt and SZA gave in to the challenge.

But before that, they decided to do a 180, with SZA opening up about why she quit the sport to focus on her music career.

"When it was like, clear to me that I wasn’t going to be like a national gymnast. I was like ‘Okay, let me see what I can do or like see what else I could be good at’," SZA said.

"So it was kind of a hidden talent?" Biles asked.

"Yeah, and I needed something to be competitive at," SZA replied.

They then did the challenge, with Simone Biles cheering on SZA saying:

"That was so good."
