Oh, I'm going to get roasted for this.

I don't want them to write a song about me.

I'm Simone Biles, and this is 10 Burning Questions with Sports Illustrated.

Top three Olympic moments from my career.

2016 Team gold, 2016 all around gold, and I would still have to say 2024 Paris all around gold as well, because that was a lot of hard work put into that.

All time favorite Zac Efron movie.

It's not just favorite.

OK, I'll say any of the High School Musicals.

This is like my childhood.

If I could compete in any other Olympic sport, I would choose ice skating.

I'm so excited to be sportsperson of the year.

It's a big role and shoes to fill.

I'm honored because we want to put gymnastics on the map alongside the Olympic year, so it's really cool.

Oh my goodness, my reaction when I saw my husband's touchdown earlier this season.

I really.

screamed so hard and so loud that I thought I was going to pass out, like I couldn't breathe.

So I was very ecstatic.

Who would be my Mount Rushmore of Olympians?

OK.

I would put myself on there.

I would also put Katie Ledecky, Michael Phelps, goodness, um, Mikaela Shiffrin.

My go to music these days is anything hype music, pump up, girl boss, hip hop, R&B.

Favorite teammate ever, Ali Raisman.

I looked up to her so much.

She was such a good role model.

She always kept my nerves down.

And yeah, we were two peas in a pod and we're really close to this day.

If I could relive any moment from the Olympics, I would say 2016 all around with Ali Raisman just because we were so stressed out and I think we could have had a little bit more fun and live in the moment.

That's a hard question.

Oh, I'm going to get roasted for this, Kendrick or Drake.

What if I say it's even?

I don't want them to write a song about me.
