Cecile Landi, former coach of Simone Biles, recently shared glimpses of her Christmas decorations as Christmas Eve approaches in a couple of days. Landi left Biles' family-owned World Champions Center just a few months ago to take up a coaching job at the University of Georgia.
The French coach was also seen in her University's Christmas decorations with several of her team's gymnastics members before the University holidays. Following this, Landi also shared a sneak peek of celebrations in her house.
Landi took to her Instagram handle to share a few pictures of her decorated Christmas tree on her stories. Her pet dog also graced one of the pictures in the stories.
"Made it" Landi's text overlay read.
"Milou has found his new spot" she wrote in another story.
Landi's Georgia Gymdogs is set to start their 2025 campaign against Denver in the Denver Quad meet on Jan 12.
Simone Biles's former coach Cecile Landi opens up about her athletes' performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics
Cecile Landi recently shed light on her athletes' performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics. In a recent episode of "Flipping Out with Bridget Sloan", Landi said the 2024 Paris Olympics was like a "full circle" moment for her as this is her hometown and the seat of her family.
She also said that she is quite proud of the performances of Simone Biles and Co. in the event especially after the debacle the team suffered at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She said (2:21 onwards):
"I mean this summer was pretty incredible like not only it was in Paris that's where I was born, my family was there. It was kind of full circle and I just feel more pride when my athletes do better than when I did it myself. So it was really emotional to see them especially after Tokyo, we all know how it went, to be able to go there and do what they worked so hard for and to get that gold was just amazing."
Under Landi, Biles had another successful campaign at the Olympics in Paris. She returned as the most successful US gymnast from the event with three individual medals and one team medal.
