My sister has always been fearless.When we were little kids, wed stand on a railing on the second flr of our house, then jump off onto the couch down below on the first flr. Shed go first, and Id follow. We were both gymnasts, so we were always trying things around the house. Nothing scared her.In the gym, wed often train together, and sometimes, when it came to trying a new move, shed joke that she was going to die. Its something all gymnasts joke about -- the fear is real.But most of us dont go and do it perfectly then! Simone was always able to go for it. If she felt fear, she never showed it.There were hard days in the gym leading up to the Rio Olympics. Sometimes shed get so frustrated with herself, and there were days when shed cry because it was so hard. It wasnt easy at all. That didnt stop her, though, and she never gave up. Thats something Ill always remember.Everyone expected Simone to win in Rio. She told me once that she did feel the pressure, and that it was more pressure than shed ever felt before. She said the expectations were hard -- and she didnt want to disappoint anyone. But she also told me that she knew she was ready.When we got to Brazil, I was so nervous for her, more nervous than Ive ever been. I almost couldnt watch. The best night was when she won the all-around. She finally did it, and I couldnt control my emotions. We didnt get to talk to her right after, but I could see how happy she was. We were all cheering and crying and jumping up and down when she won. I just couldnt stop crying.Its been funny to watch her go from normal Simone to famous Simone. Even in Brazil, people came up to me every day thinking I was her. Theyd ask for autographs and take pictures. And many times they didnt speak English so I couldnt explain that I wasnt her. Theyd just say, Simone! Simone! and finally I decided it was easier to just let them take a picture.We do lk alike, Ill give them that. But Im about 5-ft-2. Simone is 4-ft-8. Im a gd head taller than her. When we are side by side, people can definitely tell us apart.Since Rio, its been crazy. We cant go anywhere without Simone being recognized. Well run into the supermarket to get onions and someone will say, Hey! Thats Simone Biles! Sometimes I want to just go to the store and grab a few things without people coming up to us, but she deserves it t. Shes worked so hard. And now every time we go out, someone wants a photo with her.Weve always had a lot of fun together. If I could do anything in the world with her, right now, wed go ice skating. Weve always been so busy that we just havent had time. This year, were doing it.Simone is as outgoing as she seems, and yes, she is always laughing. Shes also kind and humble, and Im so proud to have her as my sister. I lk up to her in every way.More on Simone Biles? Exclusive bk excerpt: Courage to Soar by Simone Biles?Story ??
