Simone Biles' Farewell Message to Longtime Gymnastics Coaches Turns Heads

For Simone Biles, Cecile Canqueteau-Landi and Laurent Landi were so much more than just her gymnastics coaches, they were family. The husband and wife team, who started coaching Biles in 2017, helped push the already phenomenal gymnast to new heights.

With the Landis, Biles mastered the Yurchenko double pike, the hardest skill ever performed by a woman in international competition, and the "Biles II" on floor, a jaw-dropping triple double twist. She won three world all-around titles and five Olympic medals between the Paris and Tokyo Games.

The Landis relocated to Houston, Texas in order to train Biles at the World Champions Centre, which is owned by the gymnast's parents. The couple also trained Jordan Chiles and Team USA's two alternates, Joscelyn Roberson and Tiana Sumanasekera.

But now, it seems the successful partnership between Biles and the Landis has come to an end.

Biles posted a photo with her coaches on her Instagram Stories and wrote, "end of an era 🥹🤞🏾🤍. it's not a goodbye, it's a see you later."

Biles has not confirmed whether she's officially retiring after becoming the most decorated gymnast in U.S. history. However, message hinted that she may be ready to hang up her leotards for good once the "Gold Over America Tour" comes to a close.

Biles' message could also simply be a farewell to Cecile. Prior to the Paris Olympics, Cecile accepted a job to become co-head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs gymnastics team with Ryan Roberts, a move fully championed by the Biles family.

Nellie Biles announced on April 25 that Laurent would remain at the WCC as head coach of the Women's Gymnastics program, and that they were in the process of finding another coach to join him. On August 22, Cecile sent a heartfelt message on her tenure at the Texas gym..

She posted on Instagram, "Thank you to the entire WCC family for your endless support and love I’ve felt these past 7 years 🥹 Thank you to all of my athletes and their families for your trust and commitment to our program! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for y’all ❤️ Forever WCC PROUD 😘."
