Speaking with E! News, Johnson East shared that while she was watching the women’s gymnastics’ individual all-around competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics with her family, her daughter Drew Hazel, 4, had an adorable nickname for Biles.
“She kept asking, ‘Mama, where’s The Best?’ ” Johnson East told the outlet. “And it’s because I kept talking about Simone, how she’s the best. So instead of calling her Simone, she’s like, ‘Mama, where’s The Best?’ ”
Although she wasn’t sure if her daughter would be interested in watching the competition, Johnson East revealed that Drew “was enthralled” by the events.
“She thought it was so special and it was. It was just a really cool full-circle moment,” the mom of three said. “She likes to watch [gymnastics] but she is still all gung ho on ice skating.”
Biles took home the gold medal in the women’s artistic gymnastics individual all-around, team all-around, and vault. She won the silver medal in women’s artistic gymnastics floor.
