You should be proud Simone Biles, we are so proud of you and for you.
Bringing light to mental health and sportsmanship is so appreciated.
Team USA 🇺🇸 did that!
Woow a Good and Mature interview.
‘Pressure is privilege..’👌🏾❤ Well done Simone!
Simone’s parents in ‘Team Goat’ tops😅
Black athletes??? Howabout American athletes??? So tired of this woke culture crap!
Hey Genius, there was a black Brazilian on the podium with Simone and Jordan
@@junenye And what???😳😳😳
@@TroyOttosen-jg7ttget over yourself. 2 African Americans and a Brazilian who are all black women. Deal with it.
@@TroyOttosen-jg7tt if you’re white it probably will waste my time trying to explain it to you.
@@junenyeI love when they cry woke and can’t even define it. Black people celebrating themselves burns them up. I love it.
My fave gymnast of all time!
Who is this woman
Go back to bed…
I agree 😂
I mean, Lester is an amazing journalist! ❤
Simone is such a great interview subject…easy on the eyes, quick to respond, never tongue tied or without something worthwhile to say. Amazing
Simone too sweet ..she can handle herself super well
I love Lester’s voice 😩😂 it’s so strong
C’est trop un bijou cette fille, dommage qu’elle ne soit plus célibataire 😢
Simone is so nice to watch, to hear and to wish her all the best!
She’s nice to wish her all the best?
As Lester said “do whatever you want “ 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Lester asks great questions. This was a great interview!
Italy loves you!
She’s such a beautiful young lady i applaud you wish you the best always ❤
She is just beautiful, actions and deeds.
She’s been competing for 10 days straight & now on a media tour… of course she hasn’t been able to go to any other events!
Love my girl Simone so classy
If “I did it my way” was a person.
Pressure is privilege, Wow! such an amazing woman in the whole World, much love!!
Parabéns Simone, o Brasil te ama pela humildade e espírito olímpico com Rebeca
Megamind head azz

Such a sweet interview. 🙂 Great job!
Hey Pretty Girl Simone Biles 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I am a huge fan ❤
She looks and sounds happier, more mature and definitely more vibrant 👑. It looks beautiful on her!
So poised.. pressure is privilege ❤ She is a true champion .. also over herself! Great role model!
What a nice 👍 interview with a delightful young woman who happens to be the greatest gymnast of all time. Wow – what a fantastic ride it has been. 20+ years of work to get to this point! A+
Hopefully her ankle is alright
Simone reminds me of Kobe Bryant. The beautiful smile and winning spirit. So nostalgic that people still have this drive.
😑
Simone Biles, I see why she’s the GOAT!!!!
Oh she did get injured during her last competition. I see they put a boot on her foot. She did great regardless. 🥇🎉
simone is so beautiful both inside and out ❤ we freaking love you queen!!!
She’s incredible. My daughters are both gymnasts and we’ve been following her closely for so many years. She just gets better and better, in all respects.
Simone Biles is a racist bully
Lester Holt this was the best interview that I have seen anyone do with Simone and the most insightful and honest questions to Simone . I appreciate how you allowed her to think about her answers and not start all of this about what is next . Fantastic interview Lester and Simone congratulations and I am so impressed with not only your fantastic athletic ability and hard work to get to where you are at right now but the young woman that shines through when people give you a chance to answer fantastic questions as Lester did . You and Both USA TEAMS MEN AND WOMEN have been a real treasure to other young Americans and to show them how to have the potential and determination to make their dreams and aspirations come true . Relax and take care of you Simone ! ❤😊
Awesome interview! I enjoy listening to her express herself.
Dreamed and Redeemed
3:30 Can anybody help me understand what word he’s saying? Moments of ‘gider’ at 3.30?
I got the meaning by the context, but I wanted to learn this word.
Thanks a lot!!
jitter
I heard “jitter,” meaning nervousness. It’s more common to say “a jittery moment” or “having the jitters.”
@@sarahmcnary6306 thank you very much! It’s very clear.
@@azounx thanks!
SUPER STAR!!!!!
Go Simone Biles🎉
Simone is awesome. She overcame her mental health issues by facing them head on, getting the help she needed, doing what she needed to do meet the challenge. And she did. She met her challenges with excellence. Love the example she has set for everyone, especially for the athletes who aspire to win in the Olympics. They train, every day from an early age and the closer they get they stronger the pressure they feel. I can’t imagine how they feel when they don’t make it to the Olympics after sacrificing so much normalcy to train. I do hope people respect their discipline and sacrifice, winner or no. Simone, congratulations. Live long and prosper! Enjoy your success and go live what is YOUR best life!
She’s so happy and bubbly I love her personality 🥰
wearing a boot on her left leg , wonder why no mention of it , those that know know
Good for her.Good athlete but leave the black propaganda out of it. Stop the race bs. It’s just exhausting.
She is loving the fame, right when she retires she seems like at the peak of her career. I guess that is just how it goes for women, right when they become adult enough to think clearly they are too old for TV. Just sucks man. Well someone cast her in movies now, she likes fame and that is not for everyone these days it is more deadly then satisfying.
God had blessed our country with such talented athletes!!
Just an amazing person inside and out
Love you Mrs!
“pressure is privilege” wow
I like her enthusiasm and smile.
Simone is the most greatest athlete during this 2024 Olympic
Love Simone so much. Could listen to hear talk forever. She is so real and very humble and wise for her age. She’s such a great example of what a real athlete and winner looks like. ❤️🙌🏼🥇
I know what she means about not having an opportunity to savor the moment.
She’s always been an amazing human. 💗💗💗
All the best to her. She seems so down to earth.
What a remarkable woman. She’s still SO young, yet has such maturity, poise, power and wisdom. I really admire and respect Simone. She’s absolutely a National treasure!
I wonder how much better Simone and all the other athletes could perform if they were not treated the way she was treated when she got the “twisties” during the 2020(21) Olympics?
“It’s a lot of pressure, but pressure is privilege.”
What a perspective.
Simone Biles is beautiful inside and out. She’s done so much for future generations mental health concerns. She deserves a gold medal for that also.
Love her!!!
I wish Lester brought up MyKayla Skinner playing victim all a sudden after calling the team lazy. Maybe if she unblocked her she could ask Simone herself 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t think people appreciate the fact that Simone got injured the first day of practice in Paris and managed to complete all her competitions. Yes she had to tone down her routines , but that just goes to show the world what a special person she is. She stayed with Suni when she had the twisties and helped her through it. That’s how you lead. So now that the competition is over she is in a walking boot . Let that sink in. She had to block out the pain for a week.
Lester asks everything we want to ask Simone as a friend. This is such a relaxing talk. Thank you.
Wonderful interview
Simone conversando com um homem velho na TV tal qual Rebeca com nosso Galvão Bueno, cinematic paralels
Brilliant woman. Love her. Wonderful interview but the things she says “pressure is privilege” “my succes is defined by what I make it”. So young still and what ta team player mentioning Rebecca. Fabulous!
Sick of Simone. The Olympics was the Simone show from the media. There ARE other athletes in the world.
She is the star of the Olympics, you have to see her everywhere 😂😂😂 just cope
Shr got GWH together real quick! FAAFO for life!
Superb athlete and declining weak journalist who can’t or won’t tackle real national concerns about democracy…
Hater
This extraordinary woman and athlete, with all her nobility, covered Rebeca with her own light and glory. She is already a Brazilian forever in our hearts.
❤❤❤ tem minha admiração simone🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I want to be Like you when I grow up, you are such an amazing gymnast
Lester Holt what a great interviewer, he let’s us understand by exploring rather than pushing. Simone inspires the whole world & she’s patriot, a golden girl in more ways than one
Greatest!
Good on you Simone!
She is just the absolute loveliest.
I like the interviewer, he seems so warm and kind. Anyone will love to be interviewed by him.
GOAT! Brazil loves you!!!
Great interview. Curious about the boot. Was the injury worse than everyone thought or she let on? I hope she’s okay. Such an admirable individual. She’s had an even bigger impact on the world of sports, not just gymnastics purely through her honesty. So happy for her. ❤
Congratulations, Great Champion! Cheers! 🏆🥇🎈🎈♥♥
“Pressure is privilege” is an extremely positive attitude. No wonder she’s a GOAT. Championship mentality. 💎
Hard work love you deserve first place venessa york SA
Linda, Simone. Sua grandeza é singular. ❤ Brasil
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can’t stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I’m frustrated, and i don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can’t. I don’t know why I’m saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.
I have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about three years ago, but i could not let him go. So i had to do all i could to get him back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring him back. We are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach one?
Her name is Maurice Gleti, and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
“Pressure is Privilege.” Great quote!
Is Lester ill, he’s looking so skinny lately.
Legend, sweden love you!
What a beautiful, lovely, darling girl 🥰🥰🥰
In women’s gymnastics I always feel nervous for the athletes when they do the vault exercises. I wish they would remove it from the competition. It seems to be so stressful for them, even the GOAT, Simone.
💕
