Simone Biles shares her new perspective on gymnastics
Simone Biles, the most decorated female gymnast in history, is one of the leading contenders for gold at the Paris Olympics. The gymnast recently discussed her new outlook on the sport with USA Today.
She said:
"Gymnastics was everything to me. And it still is, but I just have a different outlook on it. Gymnastics is something that I do, but this is who I am outside of the sport. Rather than making it a whole blob."
She further, added:
"I still make gymnastics a priority. I get my work done and then say, 'OK, I have a wedding to go to because I know how important this teammate is to Jonathan. We can’t put life on hold or pause anymore."
Before her performance at the French quadrennial event, Biles also shared that, being the most experienced gymnast on the team, she wants to be a guide and mentor for the team.
