“Hi St. Louis,” Biles wrote in the caption. “Can’t believe this week I’ll be competing in my second Olympic Trials. What a dream.”
“I’m excited to be in an atmosphere where everybody kind of wants the same thing and is striving for perfection and they’re so dedicated and they’ve been trying so hard,” Biles told PEOPLE last week. “Soperseverance is what draws me to the Olympics, personally. I think that’s what I’m most excited for.”

Biles told PEOPLE that the Houston Texans safety has been one of her biggest supporters. “Oh, he’s always so supportive,” she said. “Even if I wake up in the morning and I’m like, ‘I’m tired, do I have to go,’ jokingly, he’s like ‘Don’t say that! You can do it, this is your dream!'”
“He’s always, always so helpful and making sure I stay on top of my therapy and all of that,” Biles added. “He’s the best because he also goes through it [as an athlete], so he knows exactly how it is in the process. It’s been amazing to have him.”
