Another Biles in gymnastics? Seems so! Talent surely runs in their family as Simone Biles‘s niece, Ronni Biles, is stepping into the world of gymnastics. In an Instagram story shared by the gymnast on May 8, 2024, Baby Biles was seen taking her first steps toward becoming a gymnast. Simone Biles shared a picture of the tiny munchkin dressed in a black leotard- a replica of the one her aunt wore at the 2023 Xfinity Gymnastics Championships.

The caption of the story read, “WCC’s newest elite team member, my niece Ronni.” The picture was taken at the World Champions Centre (WCC), the prestigious gymnastics training center located in Spring, Texas. Notably, WCC is not just any training center; it is the home base of the seven-time Olympic champion Simone Biles and is owned by her parents and Baby Biles’ grandparents, Ronald and Nellie Biles.

Despite being just one, Ronni has already begun an incredible journey. From her first flight to support her aunt TT at the 2023 US Gymnastics Championships to cheering her from afar as Simone made history at the 2023 World Championships, Ronni has been there every step of the way.

Born to Ronn Biles II, Simone’s brother, and Sammi Biles, Ronni has displayed a budding interest in the sport, often mirroring her aunt by donning matching leotards and imitating her moves. Her mother, Sammi, even gifted her a “Simone Biles: A Little Golden Book Biography” for her first birthday.

Now, as Simone Biles proudly introduces the youngest member of the Biles clan just before the 2024 Paris Olympics, Ronni is ready to take on the gymnastics world alongside her aunt. Simone Biles, as usual, sets the bar high and is the living epitome of the adage -talent breeds success.

Adding to the excitement, just days before this momentous occasion, Simone Biles’ sister-in-law, Sammi Biles, took to Instagram, indicating that Baby Biles might follow in her aunt’s illustrious footsteps as a gymnast.

Ronni already aspires to be like Simone Biles!

On May 4, 2024, Sammi Biles shared an exciting update. In the photo, Ronni was dressed in a blue leotard adorned with colorful macaroons, her eyes fixed on Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos, the French artistic gymnast who trains alongside Simone at WCC.

The caption of the post read, “How do you say? là où tout commence 🤸🏽‍♀️✨🇫🇷 ft. tiny gymnast with big dreams💫 admiring @melanie_djds972.” Translated to English, “là où tout commence” means “where everything begins.” Sammi Biles’ update stirred the hearts of fans who have been following Baby Biles’s journey from being a fan to now entering the world of gymnastics.

Simone came in clutch and lent all her love and unconditional joy to the little cute rapscallion Ronni with the caption –“We had the cutest visitor during our mock meet today.

She captioned the post, “Little miss ronni girl had so much fun @ the gym”.

In the past, Baby Biles has been spotted attempting to lift herself on the rings by her crib, with her mom capturing the moment and writing, “Watching TT and wanting to be like her.” It’s a heartwarming journey to witness another member of the Biles family step into the world of gymnastics.
