Simone’s 25 World medals

“She’s incredible,” Landi said.

“You don’t want to look at (the medals), just. …  The goal is to hit four out of four, every day, day after day. This is what she has shown everybody and to herself, her consistency not only in training but when it counts. …

Simone Biles sets the standard in gymnastics and maybe any sport you can name

Simone’s Mic Drop

A mic drop is the gesture of intentionally dropping one’s microphone at the end of a performance or speech to signal triumph. Don’t do that … unless you are the G.O.A.T.

And you add it to your choreography at the end of the 4th apparatus. 5th AA title.

Then it’s very cool. 😊

Mykayla Skinner suggested it to her, getting the idea from a fan.
