According to her, Mom Simone got into gymnastics by accident.

Simone was scheduled to go on a field trip to a farm, but the weather was not permitting, so a change was made, and the field trip was to a Gym.

Simone’s start in gymnastics can be blamed on the rain.

With a young upcoming athlete like this, she is bound to stir some dissension such as that which Svetlana Khorkina commented on. Svetlana made a comment that Simone should not be turned into some unbeatable queen, and went on to say that if she (Svetlana) were fifteen years younger, she would definitely “take the fight to the American”.

Part of these comments may have come as a result of Simone overtaking Svetlana’s record of being the holder of 20 world championships.

Perhaps An Unachievable Record?

There are many that believe that Simone will never be able to beat the record of the Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina who won 15 Olympic medals. This is because it is not believed that Simone will still be competing when the 2024 Olympics comes around because she could only add six more medals in the 2020 Olympics, leaving her short of what she would need to beat Larisa.

Grateful Fans

No matter what Simone does in the future here, fans are grateful for what she has already provided them with. She is a bright and bubbly athlete with a personality that matches her talents, which is exceptional.
