“I’m a Boss A** Bi***”: Simone Biles Confesses Advice That Helped in Successful Paris Olympics Comeback

The world’s gaze was on Simone Biles as fought to make Paris her redemption ground. And after the USA squad snagged that team gold, her spirit sure hit an all-time high. But then, came the day when Biles was meant to shine alone. This time, her own teammate Suni Lee was a competition, let alone the Brazilian superstar, Rebeca Andrade. Yes this day was none other than the Paris all-around finals, the day when Biles’ comeback could have been a near miss.

The all-around finals in Paris mean the day Simone Biles, at 27, became the oldest winner of her sport’s blue-riband event for 72 years and the only third one in history to win it more than once. The finals also meant the day she pulled out her oh-so-expensive and chic ‘goat’ necklace, establishing her supremacy in the sport. However, had it not been for this one piece of advice she gave herself, all of this could have possibly been lost in a split second.

Biles had sure entered the Bercy Arena for her all-around finals with a set intent, she wanted that gold. And the way she kicked things off on the vault, it looked like she was on the right track. After all, she’d established a clear lead ahead of Andrade on the opening apparatus, the vault. A stunning Yurchenko double pike, the hardest vault in competitive gymnastics won her a 15.766, which was 0.666 ahead of the Brazilian.
