known as SZA, has come full circle on her journey from aspiring gymnast to acclaimed R&B artist. SZA’s acknowledgment of Simone Biles goes beyond admiration for her achievements; it’s also rooted in their shared love for gymnastics. SZA’s history in gymnastics, spanning over a decade, adds depth to her heartfelt applause for Biles.

Despite transitioning to a music career, SZA has been a dedicated fan of Simone Biles, supporting her during her exceptional 2024 season from the sidelines. Simone Biles‘ record-breaking journey to the Olympic trials and potentially the Summer Olympics in Paris is inspiring. SZA’s acknowledgment on her social media handle highlights the enduring impact of sportsmanship in the world of athletics.

On Instagram, pop sensation SZA shared a Gymnastics Now post from @planetofgymnastics, applauding Simone Biles’ achievements in the Xfinity Games. SZA wrote, “MY KING” expressing her immense admiration for the elite gymnast. In the Gymnastics Now post, they wrote, “Simone Biles scores a 15.200 on the floor to become the first woman in the world to go over a 60 this quad with a 60.450.”

Simone Biles beat Skye Blakely and Kayla DiCello to the top. Her total over two days was 119.750. She also won all individual event titles. With 30.425 on vaults, 29.050 on Uneven Bars as well as 29.600 on Balance Beams, and 30.300 on the floor exercise. She won the 9th-ever Xfinity US Championship title at the final event before the lead-up to the US Olympic trials at the end of June.

This has gained her the favor of people around the world including SZA, who at one point was a gymnast herself. In an article on curiously.co.uk, they mentioned how SZA used to be a “super-good” high school gymnast. In this way, Simone and SZA are alike as they both had successful high school gymnastics careers.

SZA explained show gymnastics allowed her a chance to vent, saying she would, “freak [ herself] out and then mind-over-matter [herself]” However she gave it up when she realized that she didn’t have the prowess to make it to the Olympics. Saying, “If I can’t win, I won’t play.” Which was a correct decision since her songs have gained her over 48 awards and 193 nominations. However, SZA continues to follow the sport closely.

SZA and Simone Biles carve their paths of excellence

They recently became linked through their nominations for the BET awards. SZA received a nomination for Best Female R&B/Pop artist. As well as Video of the Year with “Oh my mama” and Best collaboration with iconic rapper Drake. Simone Biles received a nomination for Sportswoman of the Year alongside Angel Reese and Juju Watkins. The award show will be held on June 30, 2024, at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Fans are eagerly anticipating a meeting between the two stars.

Simone and SZA both inspire a generation of young singers and gymnasts. Biles previously opened up in an interview about her anxiety and panic attacks. She then urged people to take care of themselves, saying, “We have to protect our body and our mind. It just sucks when you’re fighting with your own head. Whenever you get in a high-stress situation, you kind of freak out. I have to focus on my mental health and well-being.”

Simone Biles, widely regarded as one of the greatest gymnasts ever has set new standards of excellence. With 32 Olympic and World Championship medals, becoming a role model for athletes worldwide. Simone Biles’ younger sister Adria also followed in her footsteps till she completed high school. Adria, who closely resembles her famous sister, recently expressed her enduring love for gymnastics, a sport deeply ingrained in her family’s life.

The World Champion’s sister later quit the elite competition to pursue further studies. Though she has mentioned that she somewhat regrets the decisions. The two are reportedly extremely close and are often mistaken for one another. Adria once said in an interview how even in Brazil, she was often mistaken for her Olympic gold medalist sister, saying, “They’d ask for autographs and take pictures. And many times they didn’t speak English so I couldn’t explain that I wasn’t her.” Now, it seems, the sisters share more than just looks. They share a very deep love for gymnastics as well. Adria’s recent social media post proved that succinctly

In a recent story on Instagram, Simone Biles’ sister Adria was seen at the beach with a friend. The duo were enjoying reminiscing about old times as they performed a side-by-side flip. Adria Biles seemed nostalgic as she captioned her story, “the urge to always flip”. Though Adria bowed out of competitive gymnastics many years ago, her love for the sport remains strong. After competing for 10 years, Adria Biles left the sport while being at the junior elite level. She has since gone on to pursue a career in hygiene and dental assisting. However, both Biles sisters have openly acknowledged that Adria faced comparisons to Simone after every victory, which disheartened her.

During a video session answering fans’ questions, Simone spoke about how much the comparisons negatively affected her sister’s morale. She said, “She quit because of the pressure, and everybody compared her to me…Whenever she went to competitions like ‘Oh, her sister always wins, she always wins, that’s not fair’”. After stepping away from gymnastics, Adria joined a dancing crew affiliated with the Houston Astros called the Shooting Stars. She proudly represented the team at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, before eventually shifting her focus to pursue a career in healthcare.

She also appeared on Claim to Fame, a TV show hosted by Kevin and Frankie Jonas. Despite competing under the guise of the name Louise, her resemblance to Simone Biles led to her instant recognition. Though Adria had not yet confirmed any speculations of her returning to competitive gymnastics, the community is still eagerly waiting.

Adria Biles’ interest in gymnastics sparks enthusiasm and hope

When Adria Biles was young, she found immense inspiration in her elder sister Simone and actively pursued gymnastics. She diligently honed her skill and was a level 9 competitor. Though she did not win Olympic medals, break world records or perform the dangerous Yurchenko double pike like her sister, at one point they had equal skills. During an “Ask Me Anything” session on Instagram, when questioned about any regrets regarding her decision to leave gymnastics, Adria responded affirmatively. However, she also shared that she now coaches and has discovered stability and purpose in her life.

Despite not confirming her return, Adria Biles evidently misses the sport. Earlier this year she took to Instagram to share a double flip. It was part of the “Everybody add a flip” trend. Her perfect execution was accompanied by a caption, “I miss it everyday” followed by a red heart. While Adria Biles has moved on from competitive gymnastics, her heart still cherishes the thrill of the sport.

Olympic medalists Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles share more than just a training regimen; they’re close friends and teammates. Their bond, forged in 2018 when Biles extended a helping hand to Chiles after a setback, is one of camaraderie and mutual support. With time, their friendship also deepened.

Chiles often affectionately refers to Biles as “her big sis” and “best friend,” highlighting Biles’ humor and nurturing qualities. As the Olympic stage draws near, both gymnasts are gearing up for an intense training regimen. However, there’s a twist in their journey: Jordan Chiles is set to leave her close companion behind.

Jordan Chiles’ all set for Paris but with a full jaeger twist, pun intended

Just a couple of days ago, Chiles made the bold decision to set off for Paris. In a recent story uploaded on Jordan Chiles’ official Instagram account, she reposted a glimpse of her gymnastics moves in Paris. While tagging the location as Paris, France, she penned, “Jordan Chiles training.“

But the Olympic silver medalist prioritized her health for a chance to secure an Olympic berth. After this, she made a comeback at the April National Camps along with her best friend. As the 2024 Paris Olympics are only a mere 3 months away, Jordan hasn’t wavered with her intent to compete on the world stage once again. But whom did she accompany at the April National Camp?

The tale of the two titans

It was none other than Simone Biles. Just weeks ago, both Chiles and Biles were at the April National Camp together, reaffirming their commitment to the Olympic journey. Despite being offered assignments and filming opportunities, both of them opted to focus solely on their training, underscoring their dedication.

But today, Jordan left Biles in Texas. In a recent Instagram story, Chiles penned, “See you soon, Texas. Off to Paris.” A couple of hours later, she showcased her skills on the mat. As both Simone and Jordan are valuable assets to each other, both of them are not just talented gymnasts, but also great friends.

Not only this but also training together vying for the Olympics, plays a vital role in preparing them for the grand stage. Therefore, spectators are now looking forward to Biles and Chiles training together once again. Now the question is, will Chiles be accompanying Biles after her Paris training?
