Simone Biles handles nerves, mom handles excitement of comeback
Sounds like Simone Biles‘ mom is more excited about her comeback than the Olympic all-around champion.
“She told me last night at dinner, I can’t wait for the competition, I’m so excited,” Biles said Friday, in a fuss, imitating her mom, Nellie. “I’m like, oh God, I feel like I’m going to pass out or something.”
Biles competes on Saturday for the first time since earning four golds at the Rio Games.
She headlines the U.S. Classic, live on Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA and streaming on NBCSports.com/live and the NBC Sports app for subscribers at 8 p.m. ET. NBC airs coverage Sunday at 2 p.m.
