Notably, her dancing partner, Farber, even helped Biles to choreograph her floor exercise for the Olympics. Although her Tokyo Olympics 2020 did not go as planned, her Dancing With the Stars career was one to watch. The show’s 24th season saw them finish fourth.

After receiving great scores from the judges, Biles did not get past the fan vote and was eliminated from the competition.

“We heard everyone, and I think everyone’s a little bit shocked. Sometimes you don’t know [who is going to be eliminated],” said Biles.

Keeping her disappointment aside, she reflected on her performance with Farber and spoke about the opportunity to compete in the show.

“Yes, this is a journey that I’ve embarked on, and I’ve done things. I’ve never danced in heels, never danced with a guy, so I feel like I’ve won a lot. I’ve won a friendship for life [with Farber]. I’ve been non-stop since the Olympics. I’ll have a week off,” said Biles.
