Nellie Biles, proud mom of the most decorated gymnast in history Simone Biles, talks about her daughter's journey in gymnastics, why she'll be 'shedding tears' watching her compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics and reveals what she told her daughter when Simone was experiencing 'the twisties' in Tokyo. NBC's Priscilla Thompson reports for TODAY.
As Simone Biles prepares to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics, fans can take an inside look at what it took for the gymnast to get ready for this moment. Netflix released a trailer June 19 for a new documentary series on the gold medalist's life, 'Simone Biles Rising,' showing a behind-the-scenes look into her training — and personal life.
's Hoda Kotb previously asked Biles in October what her odds would be if she were to bet $100 on seeing Biles on Team USA in Paris. Biles responded with a smile, 'I think you’d be pretty lucky, Hoda.' USA Gymnastics announced earlier this month that Biles would be among the 16 female athletes competing in the 2024 Olympic Team Trials for gymnastics from June 27 to 30 in Minneapolis, all vying for a spot on Team USA at the 2024 Olympics.
