Simone Biles' former coach, Cecile Landi, reacted to the moment the 27-year-old won the all-around title at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Biles also led the US women's gymnastics team to gold besides winning gold in the vault and silver in the floor exercise.

Simone Biles faced a harrowing setback, 'twisties', and was compelled to withdraw midway through the competition at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. After that, the US women's gymnasts stepped up to replace her in the apparatuses in the team competition but failed to make a gold finish. Cut to 2024, Biles, the 2016 all-around gold medalist, accompanied the girls on the redemption tour, extending her Olympic medal count to 11 at the Paris Games.

Months later, as FIG Gymnastics' official Instagram handle celebrated her successful stint at the 2024 Games, Biles' former coach shared the post in her story, reminiscing about the moments with a GIF.

Cecile Landi was a Team USA gymnastics coach at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Having trained the 30-time World medalist in WCC since 2017, she has witnessed the Olympian make history on the global stages, prioritize her mental health after 'twisties', and regain her top position with determination and gymnastics prowess.

Landi currently serves as the head coach of the Georgia Gymdogs, mentoring collegiate gymnastics for the 2024-25 NCAA season.

Shifting her attention to gymnastics, the 27-year-old will be at Georgia Gymdogs' home game on December 17, 2024. UGA Gymnastics' announcement on its Instagram handle read:

Ecstatic to meet her, Gymdogs' head coach Cecile Landi shared the post in her Instagram story with the caption,
