“I don’t want to compete with Rebeca anymore!” Biles said during a news conference after her victory in the women’s all-round finals. Oh, I’m done. I’ve never had an athlete as close to me as she is.
I was able to channel my inner athlete because of how aware I was. Thus, competing against her fills me with pride and excitement […] This level of tension is unprecedented for me. To Rebeca, I am grateful.
Today cited Biles as saying, “I have so much respect for her,” after her disappointing performance in today’s women’s artistic gymnastics finals,
in which she placed second behind Andrade. In a competition, she is unrivaled. I am always surprised by her. Competing against her is a privilege.
