“Called Her Coaches”: Simone Biles’ Sister, Adria, Exposes Unheard Side of Tokyo Olympics “Quitter” Tag

“I get sad when she’s not okay,” rings the haunting words of a sister whose soul wails seeing her sibling struggle.

For those who remember how things went down for Simone Biles three years ago in Tokyo, the Paris Olympics felt like a walk on the redemption path.

And yet, the Olympian’s run-in with the “twisties” will forever go down as one of the most profound moments of Simone Biles’ illustrious career, and her sister understands the impact such a thing can leave behind.

The gymnast’s sister Adria appeared for an interview with Chris Osmond, Adria talked about how the fans came after the former after she pulled out of the Tokyo Games final.

In the interview, uploaded on YouTube on August 28, Adria shed light on how the flak affected her entire family and how Biles traversed an arduous path to bounce back from her fumble in Japan.

In the interview, Adria noted how Biles’ competitive spirit couldn’t keep her away from the action despite experiencing such a harrowing moment at the Tokyo Games.

“She actually was the one who called her coaches and was like I think I want to try again,” said Adria on how the 27-year-old wanted to give things another go.
