4-foot-8 Simone Biles poses next to Olympian nearly twice her size
Olympians can come in all shapes and sizes. Simone Biles posted a perfect reminder of that Tuesday, as the 4-foot-8 gymnast posed next to USA Volleyball’s David Lee, who stands 6-foot-8.

Though Biles remarked that being with all the athletes in the Olympic Village had her feeling “extremely short,” her size comes to her advantage in her sport, where the 14-time World Championship medalist has a chance to take home five gold medals in Rio.
