Simone Biles is known for her high-flying, boundary-pushing gymnastics skills, but she can be just as impressive off the competition mat in support for fellow athletes. Biles helped German gymnasts snag seats on a packed bus to the Bercy Arena on Thursday when non-athletes intended to remain in their seats for the 45-minute ride. The arena is where the Paris 2024 gymnastics events are being held.
“Not only standing up for herself and her mental health but also fighting for us to get a seat the overly packed bus toward the arena,” German Sarah Voss, 24, posted on Instagram following Thursday’s podium practice. Two-times Olympian Voss’s story displayed a photo of a custom, heart-shaped pin adorned with Biles’ signature. Trading pins at the Olympic Games has become customary among athletes, volunteers and other participants as a gesture of friendship and camaraderie.
