Simone Biles

You see one, you see two, you see three. This one, it looks like I'm going like this in the air and it doesn't feel comfortable. I have no idea where I am, but I'm twisting, like praying land on my feet. And they're like, that looks jacked up. You can tell all of the gymnasts in there from all of the countries are like, that's jacked up. That looks jacked up.

It looks like she's never done this day in her life, but they know it's a twisty. So people were kind of trying not to watch. We get out there and ball it. And I was like, okay, it's fine. I warmed up everything. Like it wasn't good, but I did it. And so we get out there on vol and we have a one touch warm up. Go over to the table, do a one and a half. And I'm like, what the fuck? What was that?

And so I'm like, it's fine. And everybody's freaking out. I don't have another touch. So I have to go stand there until it's my turn to salute and go. I don't have another touch.

And so I'm like, it's fine. And everybody's freaking out. I don't have another touch. So I have to go stand there until it's my turn to salute and go. I don't have another touch.

Yes, gymnastics, once we go out there, we usually have a one-touch vault. And it is what it is. It's to warm up. You're usually sitting in the back for 40, 45 minutes. Come out. You get one turn to take to warm up your vault to perfection. And then you sit there and wait until it's your turn to salute and go. Hey, I'm at the Olympics. You know, that's your debut before, you know?

And so we go out there and I do the one and a half and my teammates are shook. They're like, are you okay? Are you okay? And I'm trying to convince myself I'm okay. So I don't need you asking me if I'm okay. Because I'm okay. Listen, I'm okay.

Like everything is fine. Yeah, literally. And so they're like, you're fine. And I was like, I don't know why I did that. I don't know why. And I knew once I got up there, I'm chalking up. We can't put Jordan in yet. I have to go. I have to put up a score. No matter what it is over the table, I have to put up a score.

So I'm chalking up and you can see if you watch the video, I'm like, because I have no idea what I'm going to do when I hit that table. And so in my head, I'm standing there and I'm like, I'll just do the double pike, which I haven't warmed up in like four days. And I'm like, if I do a double pike, over rotate it, it's fine. And then I was like, they put up a score for a two and a half.

So I have to do a two and a half. And I'm thinking if I do a double back, that's so dangerous. My coach will kill me. My team will never forgive. And I saluted and I was like, praying to God, because I knew I was going to do a vault, but I didn't know what I was going to do. And I knew I was going to try to do a two and a half, but I didn't know how many twists I was going to make.
