From Spring Jackson please welcome, 18 year old Simone Biles.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> First woman to win three consecutive
World all-around titles.
First African-American to be World all-round champion.
Most decorated American female gymnast in World Championship history,
with 14 medals,
most gold medals won by a female gymnast in World Champion history within 10.
>> [LAUGH] >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Now, does that just give you so
much confidence or do you think now I have to surpass, how do you surpass that?
>> Well sometimes I kind of, I don't really think about it just because we have
to go forward and I focus on other things, but once I look back at it it's like It's
really cool and then all the little kids that look up to me it's just an honor.
>> Yeah, well you are inspiring a lot of young women to do this.
So how old were you when you started and how did you get started?
>> I was six years old so that's actually late for gymnastics.
>> How old are you supposed to start at?
>> As soon as you can walk in mommy and me classes.
>> Really? >> Yes.
So like as soon as you walk, they just start flipping your around?
>> [LAUGH] >> Yeah, sometimes.
Yeah. They start you on the floor rolls.
[CROSSTALK] Yes.
>> See if you land on your feet.
>> Yeah. [LAUGH] >> So I want to show.
I haven't even seen this.
Well first of all how often do you train?
How hard do you train?
>> I train 32 hours a week, six days a week, and we only get sundays off.
Okay, so this is you at the beach just pulling yourself up, I heard about this.
I haven't seen it.
This is without legs.
This is just your arm strength.
I mean, I could probably do that but I think that, that's-
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Wow, and is that easy for you to do?
>> Yes. >> Is it challenging at all?
>> No, it's very easy
because I do one rope a day like that, so
>> Everyday you- >> Yes.
>> Climb a rope like that with just your arms.
>> Yes.
>> Wow.
That is really impressive.
>> [LAUGH] >> You have a crush on someone I heard.
>> I do. >> And he
is one of my favorite people too.
Who is it?
>> Zac Efron?
>> Yeah. He is,
he is so, first of all you have a crush on a really good guy.
He's a sweet guy and he's, is it just cuz he's gorgeous, is that why you like him?
>> Yes. [LAUGH]
>> Yeah.
Well, he also happens to be sweet.
>> Yes.
And he's in great shape too.
>> Yes.
>> He probably could climb up a rope like that with you.
>> Yes. >> Well,
he doesn't know that you have a crush on him, but I want you to get his attention.
>> Okay.
>> So I got you something to wear at the olympics.
>> [LAUGH] My God.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Thank you.
[LAUGH] I love it.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> All right, all right,
maybe he'll notice, I don't know.
>> Yes, hopefully.
>> Maybe he'll get in touch with you.
He has a girlfriend, but you'll never know.
>> Yeah, she's a gymnast, too, so she used to be a gymnast, too, so
maybe I have a chance.
>> Really? >> Yes.
>> So, you know a lot about him?
