Published 07/14/2021, 7:34 AM EDT

Simone Biles appeared in the 24th season of Dancing with the Stars. She came fourth with her choreographer, Sasha Farber. Now as Tokyo Olympics 2021 near, Biles has teamed up with Farber again to choreograph her floor exercise routine for the mega event.

Back in 2017, after Biles had won four gold medals at Rio Olympics 2016, she participated in the famous dance reality show. She came fourth in the season and back then even spoke about choreographing her floor routine with Farber for the Olympics. And now that has become a reality.

“Usually, I have a different choreographer, but this year I feel like we needed to be a little bit different — spice it up. Even whenever I worked with Sasha on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ we always said, ‘Oh my gosh, if we could do a floor routine, how cool would that be?'” Biles said.

Biles chose Farber to choreograph her floor routine because it gives her more autonomy over her style and preference. She is the greatest gymnast in history and hence with Farber, she is able to have autonomy over her routine.

Farber knew from the moment he worked with Biles at Dancing with the Stars that she had a dancing bone. No one has tapped into her dancing potential and that is what he will try in Tokyo Olympics 202o, to mix things and showcase something brilliant and different.

“[Biles] moves like a dancer, no one’s just seen that yet. “I’m really excited because she’s really moving now. To be where she is already, I can’t wait to see what it’s like in months to come. There’s a very sassy side to Simone that I’m really excited for people to see,” Farber said.

It will be interesting to see what Farber and Biles show at Tokyo Olympics 2020. Biles is defending four gold medals in Tokyo with floor exercise being one. Will Biles repeat her heroics from 2016?
