It doesn’t even matter if I don’t win a self-gold – after every meet, I have pizza. Pepperoni pizza.
SIMONE BILESIt doesn’t even matter if I don’t win a self-gold – after every meet, I have pizza. Pepperoni pizza.
SIMONE BILESI tune it all out because if I let other people’s stress get to me, then I stress myself out more than I need to.
SIMONE BILESI’m the first Simone Biles.
SIMONE BILESMost people would focus on concentrating more, and I can’t do that. It almost makes me overthink a lot of my things. I have to focus on not thinking.
SIMONE BILESAlways work hard and have fun in what you do because I think that’s when you’re more successful. You have to choose to do it.
SIMONE BILESI never thought about competing in the Olympic Games when I was growing up.
SIMONE BILESI was missing out on public school and going to the football games, prom or homecomings. But I’ve been to three World Championships. So I think it’s like a win-win.
SIMONE BILESI don’t necessarily have favorite brands.
SIMONE BILESI feel like it’s harder because everyone knows I’m the three-time world champion – it’s almost like people are waiting for something bad to happen.
SIMONE BILESMost of our fans don’t get to interact with us or know our personalities except through social media.
SIMONE BILESMy parents make sure we have everything we need so that we compete to the best of our abilities.
SIMONE BILESI’m thrilled that I was able to share my first Olympic Games experience with my U.S. teammates.
SIMONE BILESI always say my biggest competitor is myself because, whenever I step out there on the mat, I’m competing against myself to prove that I can do this and that I am very well trained, prepared for it.
SIMONE BILESThe floor exercise is a way to express your personality.
SIMONE BILESEvery year, I think of Worlds as the big meet, but now, it’s the Olympics. I’m blessed to even have the opportunity to think about it and work for it.
SIMONE BILESI have practice from 9 A.M. to 12 P.M., and then I drive home and eat lunch, which is either chicken or fish so I get the protein.
