Simone Biles’ Youngest Family Member, Baby Biles’ Gymnastics Determination, Has 1-Year-Old’s Mother in Shock: “So Proud

Gymnastics definitely runs in the Biles genes! Simone Biles‘ niece, Ronni, aka “Baby Biles,” is the latest addition to the sport. “Usually you start in ‘mommy and me’ classes or as soon as you can walk,” once shared Simone Biles. While her TT began gymnastics at the age of 6—which is considered a bit late in the gymnastics world—Ronni’s family has made sure to keep things safe and fun for her as she gets an early start. At just over a year and a half old, she’s already had a head start on her elite career since joining the family-owned gym WCC in Texas.

Watching her aunt Simone Biles book her ticket to a third Olympics has only deepened her love for gymnastics. In an Instagram post, Sammi Biles, Simone’s sister-in-law, shared adorable pictures of the tiny tot on the spring floor at the World Champions Centre in Texas, owned by her grandparents and Simone’s parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles.

Dressed in a GK Elite leotard, Ronni was performing a floor routine. Sammi, expressing her love for the sport at such a young age, marveled, “the way she is so intrigued w/ this sport at such a young age is so special for many reasons.” Sammi continued, “WCC’s littlest elite /honorary member kidding but ahhh so adorable.” Sammi isn’t the only one calling Ronni an elite gymnast already.

Even Simone Biles, back in May, shared the news. During a visit to the WCC, where Simone and other Team USA members train, the 7-time Olympic medalist proudly announced on Instagram, “WCC’s newest elite team member, my niece Ronni.” It’s clear that Ronni, like her TT Simone Biles, is obsessed with the sport. But did you know she chooses it over playtime and regular baby activities?
