Although the star competes and represents her country along with other athletes, she loves to celebrate every occasion with food. In 2018, Simone Biles sat down to talk about her particular obsession before every World Championship – Cinnamon rolls! Although the gymnast only indulges in those baked goods once a year, she justified the reason behind her craving.
Simone Biles reveals going crazy over cinnamon rolls
Who doesn’t love a buttery, fragrant cinnamon roll that’s dripping with some sweet sugar frosting? For Biles, it is an indulgence! The ace Olympian once talked about how all athletes would come together before the world championships to consume a generous spread. But if there’s one thing the athlete cannot resist, is a sticky, gooey cinnamon roll. Being a huge foodie, the gymnast leaves no stone unturned to hog on various delicacies.

Biles went on to justify her obsession with the particular sweet. Since holidays occur around the same time as world championships, a good spread tempts the athletes. Good food helps them bond, establish friendships, and celebrate their victories together.
The holidays also gave the athlete more room to bring out her food junkie. From sweet cinnamon rolls to pepperoni pizza, Biles loves to celebrate with food! However, there is one food item she used to hate during her childhood that became a well-known anecdote later on.
Simone’s dislike for meat:
Back in 2016, the gymnast revealed some hilarious anecdotes about her childhood along with her parents. One of them was her hatred toward meat. Her mother, Nellie Biles, revealed how, as a child, Biles was stubborn and refused to relent to things she disliked. This, in turn, reflected in her food preferences. When the gymnast got cut-up pieces of meat even though she didn’t like it, she found a way to not eat them.
