    Simone Biles showed how to stand up for herself after the Summer Games in Tokyo, and now the gymnastics legend is even sticking up for her rivals at the Paris Olympics.

    German gymnast Sarah Voss took to Instagram to reveal that Biles helped make sure members of the German team had a place on a crowded bus headed to Bercy Arena for team practices. Voss said that Biles made sure her rivals could ride comfortably on the long ride to the arena.

    Voss then shared some love for the 27-year-old American gymnast.

    "Not only standing up for herself and her mental health but also fighting for us to get a seat (on) the overly packed bus toward the arena," Voss posted on her Instagram Stories.

    Biles has already fostered some friendships with the German team. Earlier, gymnast Pauline Schaefer-Betz took to Instagram to share a picture of the pin that Biles shared with her.

    "This one is special," Shaefer-Betz wrote.
