Simone Biles has had an epic journey in gymnastics. What started as a passion at 6 years of age has made her the most decorated gymnast 20 years later. While most of Biles’s past teammates are retired gymnasts themselves, Biles is still at it, proving she is the GOAT of the sport.
Age is just a number for 26-year-old Simone Biles, as she made history by becoming the oldest woman to clinch victory at the U.S. gymnastics championships this year. Yet, despite this, a moment came up where Biles recalled her age in a surprising and nostalgic reunion with her past.
