Simone Biles tries out sports reporting at Super Bowl Opening Night

Olympic gymnast says she's figuring out whether she likes reporting

HOUSTON – Spring’s gold-medal Olympic star Simone Biles made a splash on Super Bowl Opening Night as she worked as a special correspondent for “Inside Edition.”

Biles said she is planning to use Super Bowl weekend as a test to see whether she likes sports reporting.

“It’s definitely different," she told KPRC. "I’m not sure if I like it yet.”

The gymnast said the most challenging part of the gig is thinking of questions on the fly.

Biles added that being short is a boon and a challenge. “I can kind of just squeeze through, and hope they don’t step on me,” she said.
