Simone Biles shares her perspective about her global fame
Simone Biles recently shed light on her fame all around the world courtesy of her gymnastics endeavors. In an interview with Olympics.com, Biles said that she feels shocked when she travels several parts of the world and people recognize her flawlessly.
Additionally, she also mentioned that despite her fame, she tries to be normal and this level of global fame is still a crazy to her. She said:
"It still blows my mind everywhere we go, somebody recognizes me because to me I'm still just Simone and I try to be as normal as possible and I truly believe I am. I feel like I have a pretty good level head so if I wasn't Simone, I do everything that I want to do. Just sometimes it takes a little bit more security or stuff. I don't let it hinder anything which is really good. I understand how we have put gymnastics on the map in like a global stage, so it is still crazy to me."
During the conversation, Biles also remarked that she feels weird when she is called the LeBron James or Serena Williams of gymnastics.
