I feel like I get to share in it, even though I’m not deserving enough to be the flag bearer.

Sometimes I think of that and I'm like, "Simone, I don't know what else you can do. What more can you do? Maybe you can repeat yourself." I'll take time off, get out more, go outside more, vacation.

It feels amazing to inspire little kids to want to do gymnastics and have fun with it.

To me, I go out there, and I do what I trained. We prepare so long for that moment, so it's just kind of exciting.

So many things I love about you. Your energy lights up an entire room. you're a true gentleman and you always put others first, your mindset, grit and your passion for greatness.

They keep asking us to do more difficulty and to give more artistry, give more harder skills, so we do, and then they don't credit it, and I don't think that's fair.

I'm not trying to die. by Simone Biles

I'm not trying to die.

What is it supposed to feel like? i don't know. I don't get time to think about these things. I think about my performances and then... dinner.

Every year, it feels better and better just because were adding to the legacy, i feel like I never think of records. I just go out there and do what I came to do, which is compete for the country.

I'm pretty pleased because that's how I train beam and it finally felt good to go out there and hit a beam routine... because I feel like every time... I just bomb it, overall, I still feel like I could do better. My goal going into tonight was to not be great, just to do well. I feel like I accomplished that and made it into finals. Yay!

My goal going into tonight was to not be great, it wasn't to do great, it was to do well, and I feel like I accomplished that.

I don't have anything to prove to anybody, i'm out there doing it just for myself this time... and see how far I can push myself.

It was a lot better. It wasn't as good as in some of the trainings, i'm just happy that I landed it because I feel like after night one my confidence got shot down. So I was really worried about it going into today, that's all I could worry about. So I was really happy.
