WCC to take on a new position at the University of Georgia. Thus, the American gymnast shares a farewell message for her.
Simone Biles recently penned an emotional farewell note for her coach, Cecile Landi, as she leaves the World Champions Centre (WCC) after serving at the gymnastic training center for seven years.
The 27-year-old gymnast took to her Instagram Story to share a photo of herself alongside her coaches Cecile and Laurent Landi and wrote, “End of an era. It’s not a goodbye, it’s a see you later,” with a heart and teary-eyed emojis.
Cecile Landi is set to take another job role and will now serve as the co-head coach of the University of Georgia. Before her Olympic journey, where Biles won three gold medals and one silver medal, the talented coach accepted the position of co-head coach at the Georgia Bulldogs gymnastics team alongside fellow head coach Ryan Roberts.
Landi joined the World Champions Centre in 2017 alongside her husband, Laurent Landi. This comes a year after the center was opened to the public. The duo serves as Simone Biles’s personal coaches. Additionally, Cecile served as the assistant head coach of the girls’ competitive program.
Under the guidance of the coaching couple, Biles soared to new heights. With them, the American gymnast mastered the Yurchenko double pike and the “Biles II” on the floor. Moreover, she has also won three world all-around titles and five Olympic medals, combining her Tokyo and Paris Games appearances.
