“Whether its' good or bad, they are always here to cheer me up and put a smile on my face and Lilo is more of like my emotional support pet. She's just here to be happy. Rambo is more of like 'I'll make you laugh and do something crazy today'. They just crack me up, they're just the best dogs.”

Simone Biles reflects on being an advocate for mental health
The prominent artistic gymnast, Simone Biles, highlighted mental health in the sport after suffering from twisties during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Due to stress and other reasons, she withdrew from multiple events but still managed to clinch a silver medal and a bronze medal. During her interview in 2024 with the Olympics, she mentioned,
“So, to kind of be put at the forefront, it’s like… I’m still going through my own thing. So how am I supposed to teach people, hey, like, you should do this or this, but everybody goes through that process differently and there are different methods that work for each individual person. I didn’t really want to, but at least we’re going through it together and I could teach them something in that.”
In 2022, Biles was honoured with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award of the United States, for her prestigious and record-breaking achievements in the sport. She has also won the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year, three times.
