Forever in our heart: Earlier today, Simone biles mother Shanon Biles was been confirmed…

Simone Biles definitely felt happy about her crowning moments, but it was her competitor’s joy that brought her the biggest smiles. Biles was seen in a jovial mood throughout the Paris Olympics as she won 3 gold medals and a silver. Coming from the nightmarish outing of Tokyo, these accolades were indeed moments to be cherished forever by the US gymnastics queen. However, being the champion that she is, Biles seemed more happy when she saw her competitors make it big at the highest level.

Speaking to Olympics.com correspondent and her former teammate Aly Raisman, Biles stated, “When it’s something for somebody else, I know and I see the hard work that they put it… Whenever I see somebody else accomplish it, I feel like that’s the excitement I get because I’ve seen the hours and I wish I could celebrate myself like that… I’m like, ‘Wooo! Let’s go!’” Surely, the exact emotion could be seen in various instances in Paris.

For example, when Suni Lee won the bronze medal on the uneven bar apparatus, Biles was spotted cheering loudly for the Tokyo gold medalist. Similarly, during the last phase of the floor event final, Biles initially tried to cheer up Jordan Chiles as she missed a podium finish by a whisker. However, after a requested inquiry went right, Chiles broke down in tears as she clinched the bronze medal with 13.766, toppling A. Barbosa from Romania who scored 13.700. As soon as the change in scores was updated, Simone Biles made the biggest cheer and danced to the success of her young teammate.
