Simone Biles: Champion On and Off the Mat

Simone Biles, known for her exceptional gymnastics skills, impressively supports fellow athletes. She helped German gymnasts secure seats on a packed bus to the Bercy Arena for Paris 2024 events. Biles inspires others by standing up for mental health and providing emotional support, like when she encouraged Sunisa Lee during a tough competition.

Simone Biles is celebrated not only for her high-flying, boundary-pushing gymnastics skills but also for her unwavering support for fellow athletes. Recently, she assisted German gymnasts in securing seats on a packed bus to the Bercy Arena, the venue for the Paris 2024 gymnastics events.

German gymnast Sarah Voss, 24, praised Biles on Instagram for standing up for their right to a seat on the bus, alongside a photo of a custom, heart-shaped pin bearing Biles' signature. Voss's teammate, Pauline Schaefer-Betz, also shared her excitement on social media after receiving a similar pin from Biles earlier this week. Schaefer-Betz, 27, and Voss are known for pushing the boundaries of gymnastics fashion by wearing full-length unitards for added comfort and modesty.

Biles, the most decorated gymnast in the world, has faced her own mental health challenges and now uses her platform to inspire and support other athletes. Last month, she provided crucial support to reigning Olympic all-around champion Sunisa Lee during a shaky performance at the U.S. national championships. "She understands more than anyone the pressure and has had to deal with the worst, so it really helped to have her in my corner," Lee said about Biles.
