[Full Interview] Simone Biles After the U.S. Core Classic

Simone Biles sits for an extended interview after her triumphant return after a two year hiatus from competition. She shares her thoughts on the US Core Classic competition, pacing for the national championship and Worlds, how she's doing with the twisties, the warm reception she received, reflections on her experience in Tokyo, the hate on social media, her mental health, how she's prepared, the next steps, and much more.

Her language sounds like she has a wonderful therapist. Very inspiring! So happy for her

[@jumping8994]

I have always said that Simone is the best role model that USA Gymnastics has ever had.

[@stuartblack758]

What a mature woman. I'm so happy that she has found this place. We can all learn from her.

[@jonburrows2684]

Learn what? She didn't qualify for the 20 Olympics, but because of her privilege, they sent her anyway

Yes Simone did win the Trials. Qualifications to be automatically named to the team is a 2 day event. Simone won the 1st day and Suni won the 2nd. When the 2 days of competition were over the scores were added together. Simone was the winner. I was at the Trials in St. Louis.

Simone, I am so happy for you! I enjoyed your thoughtful, and gracious, candid interview. It speaks volumes of who you are as a person and your decision to do what matters the most for you. Therapy works. I am so glad to hear how you have had to adjust how you digest as you say "outside noises!" I'm looking forward to the upcoming competitions! You are an inspiration both in and out of the gymnastics community!

[@svenlabots1869]

Isn't Simone just the sweetest of the sweet? I'm so glad she's back! 😂😆😍

[@creating1_c1999]

That's why she was comfortable not competing but coaching the ladies. That's too much pressure to have to do both. It's unrealistic. Those ladies may not have been to the Olympics, but if they wanted someone to "coach" they should have placed Aly, Gabby, or Laurie on the staff. Even without the Karolyi's the stress was still there. I hope they do not put that pressure on Suni, who I personally would love to see repeat and be the first to B2B that AA in Paris. I do think Suni's burden is lighter because she was a dark horse. People had positioned her for 3rd behind Jordan and she challenged all of that talk. I love Simone and wish the best for her. It clearly was something Gabrielle shouldered, which added to a lot of her burdens.

Now you all See There's no such thing as Black and White you all are color blind who thinks like that. Simone Biles has a Beautiful way of talking simone Biles speaks better than Many Caucasian women that taught Simone biles. Simone biles has the eye, Lip, smile, and Breathing technique while talking movement down Pack. These are the Dark skinned complexion people who are in Downtown Chicago and Chinatown Chicago and the Chicago suburbs the Dark skinned complexion people are like Simone biles and speak the way Simone Biles speaks Downtown and Chinatown Chicago, it's different from Dark skinned complexion people in the inner city of Chicago. The goal is To Mix Simone biles mindset with The streets of Chicago organizations smart and Strong.

Guess what the 5 o'clock news In Chicago did exactly what I said they put a Downtown Chicago female on TV and let her speak and she spoke just like Simone biles. That's not us, that's not the inner city of Chicago That's not the way we become Millionaire's. You all are Caucasian's your just dark skin complexion people and none of you all Look like us in the inner city of Chicago you all skin is just Dark. And since the 5 o'clock news put that up in Chicago that's means all so-called crime is being done Downtown Chicago by the Government. Stop SPEAKING WITHOUT INVESTIGATING. You all still letting Simone get covid, it's simple STOP covd SWABBING! Because when they come with the next virus it won't be in a Covd swab if y'all Love Simone you all would stop that! If Simone was around us Simone wouldn't still be talking about still fighting with Covd! Covd attacks the heart she can fallout , but since y'all got the government stuck up you all's assses you can't seem to understand that!

[@la-girl3020]

Is anyone else worried that Simone lost more weight?

[@cleogyrl]

She's back training full time so she's bound to look leaner. What's there to worry about? She looks normal to me.

[@philosoraptor2285]

Her gymnastics skills aren't in question here. In that respect, she's the best of the best. The problem is the mental aspect of her ability. She flaked in the last Olympics and bailed, letting down her team and country supporting her. Now, the US Olympic Gymnastic committee is all on board with giving her another bite of the apple. Now that being said, if this was a white or Asian gymnast who flaked and bailed at the previous Olympics, would she get another chance to do the same thing again in the next Olympics? I think I can say that with no racism involved, no. If she flakes again this time, everybody on the selection committee needs to resign. The problem is that they are going to select two aging gymnasts for the sake of diversity, specifically because they are black. Why? Obviously, it's because they have no young black upcoming gymnasts capable of competing at the Olympic level, and they need their diversity tokens to appear woke. One Gabby is too old to be competitive, and the other Simone, has proven mental health issues.
