The Olympian became the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history by earning a total of four medals at this year’s Games.
Adria Biles, Simone Biles’s younger sibling, is an eternal admirer.
On Wednesday, August 7, Adria commemorated her older sister’s historic performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics by sharing a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.
“The little girl in me would look for you in every single room she walks into. you have made me into the person i am today and i will forever look up to you. I love you sister 🤍,” Adria, 25, wrote next to an adorable throwback photo.
Simone, 27, who officially finished out her Paris Olympics on Monday, Aug. 5, with a silver medal in the individual floor exercise event, commented on the post, “🩷🩷🩷.” She also shared the post on her Instagram Stories and posted a clip of the two sharing a champagne toast.
The athlete earned a total of four medals at this year’s Games, making her the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history.
“I’ve accomplished way more than my wildest dreams, not just as this Olympics, but in this sport. I can’t be mad at my performances. A couple of years ago, I didn’t think I’d be back here at an Olympic game,” the gymnast told reporters after her final competition.
Nellie Biles, the mother of Simone and Adria, disclosed her feelings of pride in an exclusive interview, following the Olympians’ most recent achievements.
“It’s just been an unbelievable week,” Nellie told. “I know we came here with our own expectations, but the expectation was whatever, we do want her to medal, but not putting any stipulations on what medals that she will get. And I mean, three golds — we’re just elated.”
Simone has not yet disclosed whether this Olympics will be her final one; however, she did not exclude the possibility of participating in a fourth Games during her appearance on the Today show in Paris on Tuesday, August 6.
“You know, you never say never. The next Olympics is on home turf [in Los Angeles] so you just never know. I’m just going to relax and see where life takes me,” she said.
