In April 2024, Simone Biles' longtime coach Cecile Landi started a new chapter in her coaching career. After years of guiding Biles to Olympic and World Championship success, Landi took on the role of co-head coach at the University of Georgia's women's gymnastics team.

She shared that her move to Georgia marks a significant shift, but it doesn't mean she is leaving her role at the World Champions Center in Texas. She assured fans that she would continue coaching alongside her husband, Laurent Landi, at the gym where Biles trained for years.

The gold medalist congratulated her coach after she shifted to a new role. Biles said:

"Congratulations, Cecile. I can't think of a more deserving person. Can't wait to see what the future holds for UGA Gymnastics!. "Y'all are in GREAT hands!"

Landi, a former elite gymnast who competed in the 1996 Olympics before transitioning into coaching, coached Biles from 2017 to 2014. She gained recognition as a coach at WOGA (Word Olympic Gymnastics Academy) in Texas before joining the World Championships Center.

Under Cecile Landi's guidance, Simone Biles clinched six Olympic medals, including three golds at the 2024 Paris Games, as well as multiple World Championship titles.
