When Simone Biles opened up to coach Aimee Boorman about the training camp ahead of the Rio Olympics

Simone Biles was initially apprehensive about the 10-day camp ahead of the Rio Olympics, organized by the Karolyi couple. She opened up about the same to her personal coach, Aimee Boorman, as mentioned in her autobiography, 'Courage to Soar'. Biles wrote:

"We all knew that the ten-day training camp we were about to attend would be beyond hard. “This just might be the toughest two weeks of my life,” I said to Aimee the next day,"

The American gymnast further added:

"I was a little scared, if you want to know the truth. Five days at the ranch usually wore me out, and now we were facing ten days straight, after which we’d fly directly to Brazil without going back home. 'Aimee, we’re all going to die!' I joked as the training center came into view. I clutched my throat for dramatic effect. 'Save us, please!' 'Yes, you will die,' my coach agreed, laughing. 'And all of your hair will fall out too.'”

However, Biles eventually aced the training and surprised everyone with her performance at the Rio Olympics. She won four gold medals and a bronze medal at the quadrennial event held in Rio de Janeiro, cementing her position as one of the greatest female gymnasts ever.
