Gymnastics-Biles defends German gymnasts on crowded Paris bus

Published

on

 

PARIS : Simone Biles is known for her high-flying, boundary-pushing gymnastics skills, but she can be just as impressive off the competition mat in her support for fellow athletes.

 

 

 

Biles helped German gymnasts snag seats on a packed bus toward the Bercy Arena on Thursday when non-athletes intended to remain in their seats for the 45-minute ride. The arena is where the Paris 2024 gymnastics events are being held.

Not only standing up for herself and her mental health but also fighting for us to get a seat (on) the overly packed bus toward the arena,” German Sarah Voss, 24, posted on her Instagram stories following Thursday’s podium practice.

Two-time Olympian Voss’s story also displayed a photo of a custom, heart-shaped pin adorned with Biles’ signature. Trading pins at the Olympic Games has become customary among athletes, volunteers and other participants as a gesture of friendship and camaraderie.

Voss’s teammate, three-time Olympian Pauline Schaefer-Betz, also excitedly posted a story earlier this week after receiving Biles’ pin.

“This one is special,” wrote 27-year-old Schaefer-Betz, who with Voss has been making waves in gymnastics fashion by opting to wear full-length unitards for comfort and modesty.

Biles may be the most decorated gymnast on the World stage, but she has battled mental health issues in the past and now uses her experiences to inspire and support other athletes.

The 27-year-old’s empathy was on display last month when reigning Olympic all-around champion Sunisa Lee was having a shaky performance at U.S. national championships.

Biles pulled Lee aside and gave her a pep talk.

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, 21, said of Biles after the competition.

Some called it “his most human moment ever,” others said “this is what real love looks like.” But one thing’s certain — no one will forget the night Patrick Mahomes stood up, not for the game… but for the woman who’s always stood behind him.
