This is not the first time Adria Biles has shown love for her older sister publicly.
Prior to Wednesday's post, Adria Biles, a former gymnast, wrote about her relationship with Simone Biles, 27, in a 2016 essay for ESPN.
In the essay, Adria Biles said growing up, the two would often train together, describing her older sister as \"fearless\" in gymnastics and sharing admiration for her.
\"Simone is as outgoing as she seems, and yes, she is always laughing. She's also kind and humble, and I'm so proud to have her as my sister. I look up to her in every way,\" she wrote at the time.
