Like gymnastics legend and 15-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles.
You read that right. Biles will be in Athens at Stegeman Coliseum at the end of the week. Here&#8217;s what you need to know about her visit to the Classic City.
<h2>Why is Simone Biles coming to Athens for Georgia gymnastics?</h2>
Biles will be in attendance for the Georgia-Boise State gymnastics meet on Friday for two reasons. One, because the GymDogs are recognizing it as Olympics and alumni night. Two, because Georgia&#8217;s new co-head coach, Cecile Canqueteau-Landi, is her personal coach of eight years.
Canqueteau-Landi accepted the co-head coaching position alongside two-year Georgia assistant coach Ryan Roberts following the firing of Courtney Kupets Carter in April 2024.
<h2>How does Simone Biles know Georgia coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi?</h2>
The pair have worked together since 2017, when Canqueteau-Landi and her husband Laurent Landi, who also coaches Biles, joined the coaching staff at World Champions Elite Centre. The complex in Spring, Texas, is owned by Biles&#8217; parents, Ron and Nellie Biles, and is home to other top athletes like Jordan Chiles.
Biles and Canqueteau-Landi were in Paris together in summer 2024, where Biles earned three gold medals in the team competition, all-around and on vault, and a silver medal on floor.
