In the photo, the 19-year-old gymnast can be seen standing back to back with Olympic volleyball player David Lee. The alternates train separately from the five team members, but are in Rio and staying in competition-ready shape so they will be able to step in if any athletes get injured.

The Olympics opening ceremony isn’t until Friday, but it looks like Simone Biles is already having a great time in Rio.
Nicknamed “the Michael Jordan of gymnastics”, Simone Biles stands only four feet and eight inches tall.
Biles posted the photo on Twitter, where she pointed out that “Size difference in Olympians doesn’t matter, depending on what sport you do”.
Now… how about a photo of Biles next to the USA Basketball team?!

We wish them both luck during the Olympic Games!
