Jordan Chiles Reveals Olympic Star Who Left Simone Biles in Disbelief
One could argue that Simone Biles was the biggest name in the recently concluded 2024 Paris Olympics. However, despite being the most decorated gymnast of all time, even Biles herself does get starstruck from time to time. This was exactly the case for the 11-time Olympic medalist when she got to meet Jamaican track and field superstar Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. It was Simone’s USA Gymnastics teammate, Jordan Chiles, who spilled the beans on Biles during a recent podcast appearance.
Chiles shared that she had several memorable experiences while at the Olympics, including one where she got to introduce Biles to Fraser-Pryce. During an episode of the “Chicks in the Office” show, Chiles mentioned, “I remember this really cool moment when I introduced Simone to Shelley-Ann Fraser.” Chiles noticed how excited Biles was during their interaction and how they had a great conversation.
She found it enjoyable to witness them connecting in such a positive way.
Simone Biles is rarely surprised by the individuals she encounters, but Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is one who manages to leave her astonished. Known as a legendary figure in the track and field domain, Fraser-Pryce participated in her fifth and last Summer Games in Paris, marking a significant achievement.
Despite not clinching a medal in her final appearance (she pulled out of the 100m semi-final due to an injury), the Jamaican athlete has already secured eight Olympic medals.
In simple terms, Fraser-Pryce is considered one of the best sprinters in history, which is why even Biles, who is also seen as the greatest of all time in gymnastics, was amazed when they met.
