  • Ahead of the championships, Simone expressed some jitters in an interview with USA Today, recalling a mistake she made on the beam during the 2016 Olympics in Rio, which continues to haunt her today.
  • “My main goal is to go out there and compete beam with confidence, and hopefully do well in that event because I know how strong I am.” It’s clear that her positive self-talk paid off.
  • “I was like, 'I guess I’m just never going to do well on beam again,’" she recalled, adding that she was able to regain her confidence with the help of her coaches.
  • I think it’s important to teach (young girls) that.” With another record-breaking event behind her, there’s nowhere to go but onwards and upwards…to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, that is.
  • In conversation with USA Today, the gymnast explained: “I’ve won five world titles and if I say, 'I’m the best gymnast there is,' (the reaction is) 'Oh, she’s cocky.
  • However, Simone has indicated that next year’s games just might mark the end of her journey, telling the BBC that gymnastics has certainly taken its physical toll.
