Can Simone Biles Get SZA Ready for the Olympics?

Before heading to his third Olympics, gymnastics GOAT Simone Biles spent time with one of his biggest fans, who also happens to be a Grammy-winning singer SZAIt turns out the two superstars have something in common, as the “Kill Bill” singer was a gymnast when she was younger.

In a NBC Sports In a video titled “When SZA Met Simone — Part 1,” they reunited to discuss the “All the Stars” singer’s athletic past and engage in some friendly competition.

“It’s my dream to talk to you” SZA told Biles“I’m so excited. You’re my wildest dream.”

When the four-time Olympic gold medalist asked the SOS artist about her gymnastics background, SZA explained, “I wasn’t as cool as you. I’ve never seen anything like it, nobody has.”

The singer-songwriter changed her focus to music when she realized she wouldn’t reach the same level as Biles and her teammates. She revealed that she “needed something to be competitive.”

“When it became clear to me that I wasn’t going to be a national gymnast, I was like, ‘Okay, let me see what I can do,’” the New Jersey native said.

Their playful banter and mutual appreciation led to a hilarious handstand competition. “She’s gonna knock me over,” Biles joked as they nearly collided. SZA held her handstand longer, so she won. Although we imagine a handstand competition with a popular singer isn’t high on the list of competitions the nine-time national all-around champion is trying to win right now.

We’re really hoping this all leads to Simone appearing in SZA’s next music video, or perhaps a live performance where SZA sings while Biles dominates the floor exercise.

As we mentioned, Simone is heading to her third Olympics. On Sunday, she won the U.S. Olympic qualifiers in women’s gymnastics, officially being named to the team alongside Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera.

If you’re hoping to see Simone and Team USA win more medals (fingers crossed), the 2024 Paris Olympics will kick off with the Opening Ceremonies on Friday, July 26, while women’s gymnastics will begin on Sunday, July 28. In the US, all coverage of the Paris Olympics will be available live on NBC and Peacock.
