Simone Biles Says She's 'So Thankful' for Coaches After Olympics Podium Training in Tokyo

It's almost showtime for Simone Biles, and she's thanking the people who helped get her there.

Biles, 24, documented Team USA gymnastics' podium training on Thursday in Tokyo ahead of the start of the competition at the Olympic Games this weekend. In addition to photos with her teammates, including Jordan Chiles, Biles also posed with her coaches and sent them a message of thanks.

"S/O to the best coaches for sacrificing so much for us to be able to reach out dreams," Biles wrote alongside the photo of herself, Chiles, and coaches Laurent Landi and Cecile Canqueteau-Landi. "It doesn't go unnoticed. So thankful for you guys."

For previous Olympic Summer Games, gymnastics teams consisted of five members. However, the decision to reduce to four members was made in 2015 by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) as a way to narrow the competitive gap for smaller countries. Thus, in Tokyo, countries will be competing with four team members and two individual spots.
