“WORLD SERIES BBY ⚾️,” Simone captioned a photo of her family on the field, all wearing jerseys for the home team.

If you didn’t know, Simone is from just outside of Houston. Unfortunately the Astros lost the second game in the World Series 12-3 to the Washington Nationals.

Earlier this month, Simone made history at the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships by becoming the most decorated female gymnast in history!

Simone Biles looks super happy after finishing her floor routine at the 2019 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships on Tuesday (October 8) in Stuttgart, Germany.

The 22-year-old gymnast made history and broke a record that night – she became the most decorated female gymnast in history.

Simone received her 21st world championship title after her team won a fifth straight world team title. Congratulations Team USA!!

This was just the first of six medal events that Simone has, so she could be taking home even more titles.

Simone also opened up about wanting to quit gymnastics.

“Sometimes I wish I would quit,” she told NBC Sports. “The other day, we walked out there, and I was like, I literally hate this feeling, and I don’t know why I keep forcing myself to do it.”

“I hate that feeling like I’m going to puke before. But, you know, we love the thrill of it,” Simone added. “Reminds me to never give up because one day I won’t have the opportunity to get that feeling.”

We see you, Simone Biles!

The U.S. Olympic gymnast performed on Balance Beam during Women’s Qualification on Day 2 of the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships on Saturday (October 5) in Stuttgart, Germany.

She continued making history by getting two more skills named after her into the Code of Points, which makes four total, NBC Sports reports.

She and the U.S. women’s gymnastics team finished in first place. The U.S. earned a team score of 174.205 – 5.044 points more than second-place China.

“I’m pretty pleased,” Simone said. “I feel like I have a lot of pressure being put on me. My main goal going into tonight was to not be great, but just to do well. … It’s always nerve-racking because qualifications qualifies you into everything. Waking up, it’s just like, oh gosh, what’s going to happen tonight.”

Simone‘s most recent skills were her triple-double on floor exercise and her double-double dismount off the balance beam.

Simone Biles has been called a lot of things over the course of her gymnastics career – the GOAT, a force, and a superstar, among many others.

However, the 22-year-old athlete doesn’t want to be labeled a superstar at all.

Speaking during the pre-competition press conference at the 2019 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships earlier this week, she explained that the label adds an extra pressure on her.

“If I were to label myself as a superstar, it would bring more expectations on me and I would feel pressured, more in the limelight, rather than now,” Simone says.

“I just go out there and compete,” she added. “[I] try to represent Simone… not ‘Simone Biles’ whenever I go out there, because at the end of the day, I’m still a human being before I’m ‘Simone Biles, the superstar.’”

Simone Biles does the splits in front of a group of people in this new image from her campaign with Candid!

The 22-year-old gymnast is teaming up with the brand as it’s first ever brand ambassador.

“As an athlete, I’m at my best when I feel my most confident. So when I learned about Candid, a brand that helps boost confidence, I was so excited to partner with them,” Simone said in a statement. “Straighter teeth are just the start — because making that one little change can unlock so much possibility. I was also excited to work with the SmileTrain organization to help bring a smile to so many people.”

“Think about what you could do without any inhibitions standing in your way,” she continued. “Feeling like you look your best in photos. Laughing without holding back. Just being you. That’s what Candid is all about — giving you the confidence to express yourself. And they have the right team to help you get there.”

Simone‘s partnership with Candid was born out of a shared support for Smile Train, the organization that supports doctors who repair cleft palates.

Simone Biles is breaking her silence after her brother Tevin Biles-Thomas was charged with murder.

The 22-year-old Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast shared a statement on her Twitter account and noted she’s “still having a hard time processing last weeks news.”

“My heart aches for everyone involved, especially for the victims and their families. There is nothing that I can say that will heal anyone’s pain, but I do want to express my sincere condolences to everyone affected by this terrible tragedy,” Simone wrote in the statement. “I ask everyone to please respect my family’s privacy as we deal with our pain. XO.”

Tevin was arrested last week in connection with the murders of three people in Cleveland back on New Year’s Eve. His charges include “six counts of murder, five counts of felonious assault, three counts of voluntary manslaughter and one count of perjury.”

Simone Biles continues to make history.

The 22-year-old Olympic gymnast showed off her skills while competing on the balance beam during the Senior Women’s competition of the 2019 U.S. Gymnastics Championships held at the Sprint Center on Friday (August 9) in Kansas City, Mo.

During her routine, Simone became the first gymnast to ever attempt and successfully land a double-double dismount from the balance beam at a competition (via E! News).

If Simone can repeat the move at an international meet, it will be named after her, according to Team USA.

Additionally, Simone became the first woman gymnast to attempt a “triple-double” in a competition (two flips in the air and three twists).

“Honestly as soon as I fell on floor, I was like, ‘That’s it, I’m scratching the meet, I’m walking off the floor,’” Simone said afterward. “On my last pass I felt like I had tears in my eyes, and that’s the only time I truly felt sorry for myself in a real long time. But you have to keep the momentum going.”

“You’ll go your whole entire career and everybody will tell you you’re great,” she added while speaking to USA Today before the event. “But the minute … you say you’re good, (people are) like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so cocky!’ ‘`Cancel her,’ or this or that. There should be times where we can celebrate whenever we do a good routine…. I think it’s something you should have pride in. Not be cocky about it, but have pride in it.”
