“I’m so shocked, it’s the dream of all my life. I can’t believe it has happened, I’m speechless,” said the gymnast after winning a gold medal on the uneven bars at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. “It was my ultimate dream, years of hard work, details. I’m honoured to have been able to win this medal, first of all for me and for Algeria too.” At just 17, she soared through an unparalleled release‑and‑catch routine on uneven bars, claiming gold with a staggering 15.700, outfoxing reigning world champ Qiu Qiyuan and U.S. star Sunisa Lee. Talking about US Athletes, the Algerian is in the USA and even met one of Simone Biles’ mother, who has left her emotional. Listen to her words –
Inside Gymnastics Magazine took to their official Instagram handle to post a picture of Kaylia Nemour with the very mother of the greatest gymnast of all time. They captioned the post, “ Olympic gold medalist Kaylia Nemour, who recently appeared on the cover of Inside Gymnastics magazine, has been visiting World Champions Centre in Texas and sharing snaps along the way. This morning she posted a picture with Nellie Biles, Simone Biles’s mother, and commented on the great hospitality she’s receiving. You love to see it!”
Kaylia Nemour graced the cover of Inside Gymnastics in the April 2025 issue. Her stunning feature, titled “Heart of Gold! Kaylia Nemour Soaring in 2025”, celebrated her Olympic triumph and the powerful journey she’s embarked on since topping the Paris 2024 podium. The magazine posted the picture of the gymnast donning a blue leotard and standing beside Nellie Biles, where the overlay text read her words, “This morning, I met Simone’s mother. What an honor to be welcomed so warmly, with such kindness, respect, and a big smile that truly touched me.”
But love from the Biles is not new to the Olympic gold medalist. She might have been a competitor to Simone Biles as a gymnast, but she was not the enemy. Further cementing why she is the greatest gymnast of all time, Biles offered encouragement and advice to the youngster.
Simone Biles helped Kaylia Nemour
At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Kaylia Nemour not only made history but also found strength in the most legendary of supporters—Simone Biles. In an exclusive with Olympics.com, Nemour shared how Biles, a 7-time Olympic gold medalist, was her quiet force behind the scenes. At the electric Bercy Arena, Biles gave pep talks before every skill. “Before each move, she’d say to me, ‘You can do it, let’s go!’” she told.
Even though Nemour finished fifth in the all-around, she had her fun. Not only behind the scenes, Simone was cheering for Nemour even during the uneven bars final as well. The Olympian said, “She’d encourage me during and as soon as I’d finished, she’d give me a check and say ‘good job’. Frankly, the all-around was a great experience with all the great gymnasts, and I really enjoyed myself.” What are your thoughts on this action of Biles?
