In the latest Netflix documentary on Simone Biles, the gymnast can be heard preferring safety measures over everything. She never feels ready to try out something, ignoring the precautions, be it her charismatic Biles II vault or leading her lifestyle, avoiding unwanted discussions. This has contributed greatly to her mental peace and extending her career. It seems like her adorable niece, Ronni, aka Baby Biles, is also following the same suit, choosing the safety measures at first. Her mother’s latest Instagram share supports that part.

On July 20, Sammi shared several Instagram stories showing her little daughter’s preparation to join the audience at the Paris Olympics. Notably, Simone Biles and the US Olympic gymnastics teams have already reached the French capital, and in the opening ceremony, the full squad, including Simone, has a chance to appear before the crowd.
Being a careful mother, Sammi has already started to take precautions for Ronni’s travels to watch her aunt perform in her third Olympic Games. As a part of that safety measure, the kid has now started becoming habituated to wearing the toddler harness or leash.
That protective leash is customized to save the loving kid from crowd pressure, and on an occasion like the Olympics, a crowded arena or stadium is the most expected thing. On that aspect, Sammi’s step could prove to be a standout in Paris. Now, as far as Baby Biles’ feelings are concerned, in the shared stories, she seemed to be happy enough to wear that harness and gambol freely on her wish. However, initially, Sammi had to fight a few mental battles to think of such an out-of-the-box approach.

In her shared Instagram story, she revealed that she had never thought of herself as being the mother to put her in the ‘harness’. But as they say, “Crisis is the mother of all innovation”, she had to think in that way, as their next destination is not any gymnastic arena in the American mainland. Rather, Simone Biles’ family will have to travel to a ‘foreign country’ where the crowd will be the most diverse.
Above all, Sammi knows the mindset of a kid, as she mentioned, “it takes less than 0.2 seconds for a toddler to run off ‘judgements can politely gtfo & exit’”. So, her decision turns out to be crisis-driven. And it will help little Ronni witness her TT on the Greatest Show on Earth and get motivated. The adorable niece has already a record of copying her aunt.
TT’s niece is all set to watch gymnast Simone Biles on the global stage
The Paris Olympics will be the very first occasion for Baby Biles to watch her aunt on such a big stage. Since 2023, she has been a regular in the audience box to watch her aunt TT on the mat. Whereas the gravity-defying gymnastics moves awed the spectators, for Ronni Biles, those became something that could be emulated. Simone’s gymnastics den, World Champions Centre, has now become a regular watcher of Ronni trying to land a gymnastic skill on the mat, that too, at this little age.

On July 12, Simone Biles’ sister-in-law shared a few pictures showing little Ronni trying to do a floor exercise at WCC. The large mat held her in a corner, but her effort was big enough to cover the huge length. Such an effort found a fitting shoutout from her mother, as she captioned, “the way she is so intrigued w/ this sport at such a young age is so special for many reasons.” Subsequently, she added, “WCC’s littlest elite /honorary member kidding but ahhh so adorable.” The little legs have already moved forward to be the one elite gymnast, as GK Elite gifted her a set of leotards, almost similar to the ones Simone Biles wears. Does that signify something in her future? Let’s wait for that day to watch another Biles on the mat.
