Michelle Obama and Simone Bile
American gymnast Simone Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medallist, considers First Lady of America Michelle Obama as inspiration.
“She’s such a role model that it makes you want to be the first in your category to do something, to strive to perfection. I think she’s been such an inspiration. Representation matters—kids looked at her and said, ‘If she can be there, then I can too.’ From the way she pushed boundaries to how she inspired young people to eat better and exercise, she changed so many lives,” Biles told People magazine.
