Simone Biles welcomes Chellsie Memmel to Team USA
Biles returned to competitive gymnastics in 2023 after a two-year hiatus. During her comeback run, she won the national all-around title at the US Gymnastics Championships in San Jose, California in August 2023. The 26-year-old is the most decorated gymnast in US history.
Biles recently welcomed Chellsie Memmel, the technical lead of USA Women's Gymnastics, to the team. Speaking to a local news channel, she said:
"And now she leads Team USA and we're so grateful to have her especially because she's been through exactly what we've been through before."
Biles added:
"Chellsie's the best so we love her."
Memmel is the 2005 world all-around champion and a coach at M&M Gymnastics in New Berlin.
In September 2023, Memmel shared with CNN an interaction that she had with Biles after the star gymnast was not happy with her overall performance at the US Women’s World Championships Selection Event. She said:
"I gave just her a hug and I said you know, 'Congratulations' because obviously, she locked her spot."
The 2003 World Champion on the uneven bars added that she encouraged Biles to keep her motivation high, saying:
She was kind of like (grimaces), I was like: 'Okay, I know it wasn't your best.' She's like: 'Yeah. I don't know what happened.' Like: 'Get it out here. And you know, it's it's gonna be okay, like we'll just turn turn the page.'"
