G.O.A.T. Simone Biles’s astounding gymnastics career is not simply the result of her grand achievements. Her strong grip over her fanbase is exceptional. In the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Biles withdrew from the competitions to prioritize her mental health. Moreover, she was facing what the gymnasts call, ‘the twisties’, where an athlete can’t reckon their dimensions mid-air. Hence, while she was returning home, her fans had something special planned to cheer her up.
As per a previous Twitter post, a pizza chain restaurant, Imo’s, once sent a couple of pies all the way to Houston, Texas, from Missouri. This delivery came after the Olympian’s prior tweet based on her love for the chain.
