Glamour Cover Girl Simone Biles Debunks Gymnastics Myths
Gymnast Simone Biles is on the cover of Glamour magazine.
In a video for Glamour posted on YouTube she debunks some myths about gymnastics.
All gymnasts are flexible. ***Simone said she and Aly Raisman are not flexible but flexible enough to accomplish what they need to.
On gymnastics not being a sport. ****She said it is a year long sport with no offseason. Gymnasts compete year round. (Have you seen her…don’t even tell me that gymnastics isn’t a sport) She trains 32-34 hours a week to compete for 3 minutes.
On whether gymnastics stunts your growth she said she is 4’8 but she does know gymnasts that are 5’6 5’8. (seriously, who asked this?)
Simone is now embezzling a GOAT on her leotards.
“The idea was to hit back at the haters,” she told the magazine. “[The haters] were joking like, ‘I swear, if she put a goat on her leo, blah, blah, blah.’ That would make them so angry. And then I was like, ‘Oh, that’s actually a good idea. Let’s make the haters hate it, and the fans love it.’ And so that’s exactly what we did and why we did it.” - Simone says
If you think about GOAT, Greatest of All Time, it is pretty spot on. She just won the Historic 7th National Title.
