Simone Biles and Aly Raisman: 2020 Tokyo Olympics Hopefuls



S. Biles, who have dominated gymnastics both at worlds and International competitions didn’t disappoint at the Olympics. Kids all over the world especially in her country are being encouraged to sign up for gymnastics classes hoping to be just like Biles. We should not count her out yet. Simone Biles said that she looks towards the next Olympics games at Tokyo. 

"The next games are far away, but after I take a long vacation,
and life settles down, I will get back
 to training and prepare for 2020”


I haven’t thought that far ahead but you get so excited that you want to go for the next games. I want to have fun and enjoy life a bit and then go back to training. We have a tour. We’ll just have to see, it won’t hurt to take a year off.”

Aly may be the oldest and captain of the team but she is no ready to exit the gym and say goodbye just yet. She has confirmed her Olympic return,

“I thought i was at my best shape of my life at 2012,
now I just feel better,
I think I get better with age’.

‘If you had asked me a few months ago I would have definitely said i was done
and I think my coach, Mihai Brestyan
would have said the same now am going
to take a break and return.”

Now that they are done with the Olympics, their job is not yet over as the have lots of public appearances, interviews and the popular Kellogg’s Tour of gymnastics champions visiting 36 cities starting with New York City.
