Legendary gymnast Simone Biles never disappoints her country with her performances. In every Olympics, she has shown her dominance in the sport. Biles has already achieved the legendary status that precedes her name at the age of 24. Despite her success, she has always maintained a close relationship with her mother.

In a YouTube video by Teen Vogue back in 2016, Simone Biles and her mother answered questions. In the Q&A video, she answered a question that even her mother had wondered about for years. The question her mother asked was none other than, “Why Do You Laugh So Much?”  The gymnast icon has a habit of giggling at everything, which was noticed by her mother.

Even while answering this question, Simone giggled and said, “Because life is fun and you should build memories and I build memories by laughing.” A pretty mature answer by the gymnast icon. She always wanted to live life to the fullest. Seemingly, her fun lifestyle and positive thinking have also contributed to her being the most decorated gymnast ever.

It is often said that Simone Biles is an American gymnast powerhouse as she has rarely ever tasted defeat in the Olympics. At such a young age, she already has seven gold medals in her career. 

A proud moment for the mother of Simone Biles

In that YouTube video, Simone’s mother shared a moment where she was proud of her daughter. Although, according to her, there were many times when she was proud of Simone. But out of all those proud moments, she won’t ever forget the 2013 World Championship.

“I mean there’s been several times proud that I’m your mother but I read I still not forget how I felt for the 2013 world champion I mean she it was something that will forever stay in my memory simply because the last thing I ever thought about was Simone winning and being a world champion and she did and I will never forget that…” said Simone Biles’ mother. She also did receive a big hug from her daughter after that, but it was an emotional moment as her daughter achieved what her mother wanted her to.
